Why The England fight on Battle of Trafalgar?
The British were blockading the combined French-Spanish Fleet in their port, much the same as the Japanese were blockading the Russian Fleet in their port (Port Arthur) in 1905. In both cases the blockaded fleets attempted to exit their ports. In both cases the blockading forces engaged them in battle. 1. The British captured the French/Spanish Fleet at Trafalgar in 1805 (only one wooden vessel was sunk during the engagement). 2. The Japanese and Russians fought to a draw at the Battle of the Yellow Sea in 1904, and the Russian battleships returned to port (in Port Arthur). 3. Whilst the tactic as described above are accurate. one of the main reasons was that while the French and Spanish fleets were in port, the British were practicing their gun drill. By the time the battle started the rate of fire from the British cannons together with the accuracy was vastly superior to that of the combined Spanish and French fleet . This tradition of rapid gunfire was maintained by The royal navy till beyond the second world war.
