A measurement of the effigy in Westminster Abbey suggests a height of 5ft 7in).

They argue that Nelson's life could have been saved also if the injury had oc- curred on an aircraft carrier or in the vicinity of a US hospital ship such as the Comfort or the Mercy, both equipped with 12 operating theaters with excellent surgical teams. The French and Spanish Navies together had only 90 ships of the line [1], so they would have had to destroy 23+ British ships of the line to even reach parity in ships of the line, never mind superiority. They could have done this at Trafalgar; but there were only 30 of the 113 present [2].
