== == HMS Victory is the oldest naval warship still in active commission. You can visit her in Portsmouth Harbor in the south of England, where she is preserved as a museum ship in dry dock.

Victory is a 104-gun "ship of the line" built between 1759 and 1765. She is most famous for being the flagship of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar, a decisive British victory in the Napoleonic war, during which Nelson was mortally wounded by a sniper from an enemy ship. Nelson's last words were reported to have been, "Thank God, I have done my duty."
