HMS Victory was a terrible and awe-inspiring sight to both enemies and allies. It has become one of the most famous ships in the world and is still in commission in the Royal Navy to this day; as of 2019 a total of 241 years of service.

First Rate

HMS Victory was a First Rate Ship-of-the-Line, the most powerful type of ship of her day. She had three gun decks mounting 100 guns. The Royal Navy had always built very large ships to fight major fleet battles. The French and Spanish navies did not tend to build First Rates until after the American War of Independence in 1783. Though launched in 1765 she was not commissioned until 1778. This long period of weathering meant her timbers were well seasoned and are a major reason for her long life.

Though launched on 7th May 1765 HMS Victory, the ship was not commissioned until 1778. Over a period of 34 years, between 1778 and 1812, HMS Victory took part in five naval battles. Commissioned for service in the American War of Independence, Victory fought in the First and Second Battles of Ushant and the Battle of Cape Spartel. During the French Revolutionary War, she was Admiral Jervis' flagship at the Battle of Cape St Vincent.

In 1805 she achieved lasting fame as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Nelson in Britain's greatest naval victory, the defeat of the French and Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805)

Early in 1805, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson commanded the British fleet in a protracted blockade of Toulon. The French fleet successfully evaded Nelson's when storms disrupted the British blockade. Following a swift search of the Mediterranean, Nelson realised that the French had crossed the Atlantic Ocean towards the Carribean. He thus set off in pursuit.

After pursuing the Admiral in charge of the Franco-Spanish Fleet, Pierre-Charles Villeneuve, to the Caribbean and back, Admirals Lord Nelson and Collingwood finally engaged the enemy. On the 21st of September 1805, just off the southwest coast of Spain, west of Cape Trafalgar, near the town of Los Canos de Meca, the two mighty fleets engaged. The French fleet was in disarray, and Nelson had devised an unorthodox tactic in an attempt to conclusively defeat the Franco-Spanish fleet.

Nelson organised the British ships to sail perpendicularly across and through the French line. This meant that each British broadside was met by limited French counterfire.

HMS Victory Engages

For 40 minutes, Victory was under fire from the enemy ships of the line Heros, Santísima Trinidad, Redoutable, and Neptune. She cut the enemy line between Villeneuve's flagship Bucentaure and Redoutable; cutting a devastating broadside against the flagship, before engaging the 74-gun Redoubtable directly. The melee resulted in the two vessels locking masts. Nelson was shot by a French marksman from the Redoutable at the height of the battle and was carried below decks.

As the crew of the Redoubtable prepared to board HMS Victory, the 2nd ship of the British windward column, HMS Temeraire, emerged from the smoke and poured devastating carronade fire into the starboard side of Redoubtable. Its Captain, with less than twenty per cent of his crew fighting-fit remaining, surrendered.

More and more British ships entered the battle, gradually overwhelming the remaining allied ships. Nelson did not die until 16.30, well after British victory was already assured. Out of a crew of 821, Victory suffered 57 men killed and 102 wounded; a significant number for a battle of this type.

Though he himself perished, Nelson's fleet captured or destroyed 22 enemy ships, for no losses. Some of the captured vessels were destroyed, however, in the aftermath of the battle.

Nelson's body was borne home aboard his flagship. After lying in state at Greenwich, he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral on 9 January 1806.

After Trafalgar

HMS Victory herself suffered in the battle, and at forty years of service was refitted as a second rate in 1807. She did not see further combat. After further service in the Baltic and off the coast of Spain, Victory was put into reserve in 1812 in Portsmouth. The ship had struck the public's chord, and any threat of decommissioning the ship resulted in public outcry. To this end, HMS Victory remains a commissioned vessel of the Royal Navy to this day.

In the Game

H.M.S Victory is a potent force on the tabletop. Aside from a formidable array of weaponry and fantastic resilience, her inspiring presence confers a bonus to all nearby friendly ships when they are required to take a skill test. If Nelson is present, this bonus is augmented yet further!

Read this if you're having connection or audio/video/notification difficulties ***UPDATED at end***
Before I start my revised review, let me state that there's been a lot of news lately about people hacking into Ring cameras, but this only happens when someone installs a new camera and doesn't update the default username and password (or has an extremely weak password which is easy for a hacker to guess). This is like leaving your front door open while on vacation. Your camera is sending and receiving signals over a wireless network. Anyone within range of the signal can potentially be a threat if you don't have good encryption (username and good password) set up on your camera. There's no logical reason for a Ring owner to not do this. Ring even stresses changing the default settings during the initial setup process. Bottom line, don't blame the car manufacturer if you leave the keys in your car and it gets stolen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently, I wrote a rather scathing 1 star review about the problems I was having with my new Ring Stick Up Wireless Battery Cam. I'm no stranger to wireless cams, having 10 hooked up and running seamlessly on another network as I write this, but I was totally frustrated with the connection reliability, not only with my two upper end cellphones, but also on my Galaxy Tab and Amazon Show. More times than not, the software wouldn't connect with the camera but when it did, the video was choppy. Notifications were also hit and miss. I have a great wireless mesh router system throughout the house, so after doing all the troubleshooting I could think of, I assumed it was due to faulty hardware or software. I gave up and started the return process through Amazon. It was a new product after all and new products sometimes are really buggy. Plus, I read other negative reviews which seemed to justify my thoughts and actions. Then I got an email from a gentleman from Ring saying he read my review and asked if I'd be willing to let him help troubleshoot my issues with me. Although I had already started the return process, I was willing. It was refreshing to know Ring Customer Service was genuinely interested in troubleshooting possible defects in their newest product. Together, we isolated the issue within about 20 minutes. It turned out it wasn't the camera or software after all. Anyone having connection issues should do what he advised me to do. Open up the Ring app and click on the 3 little dots to the upper right of the camera screenshot, then select settings. From there go to Device Health and check the signal strength. Although I had a good mesh hub (inside) within 10 feet of my camera (mounted outside), my signal strength was RSSI -64. He stated that the signal was so weak it was on the cusp of what is needed for the camera to even minimally operate. This prompted me to reboot my wireless mesh system and reset/reconnect the camera. When it came back online, my signal strength went to -39, a vast improvement. A quick check of all of my devices showed the camera and software working flawlessly. Hat's off to Ring. Anyone who may be having connection or audio/video/notification difficulties, check your signal strength to the camera via the Ring software, even if your router is close by. You just might be surprised. ***UPDATE*** Camera (and software) is still working flawlessly on all devices. Ring has now updated their Windows 10 desktop app (which previously didn't work with the new wireless battery cams) and it works flawlessly as well. Observations. Notifications on my phone, Tab and Amazon devices (Show, Echo, Dot) are almost instantaneous. Alexa says "Someone is at your front door." Very cool. I bought an extra battery, but it looks like it'll be at least a few months before I need to swap it out, even with the intensive testing I've done on the Stick Up Cam. Battery life seems excellent. I have one zone blocked out and that seems to work fine as well. I also have it mounted a couple of feet above and to the left of my front door, tilting downward at an angle. Even though residential traffic is visible in the field of view, I've not gotten one trigger due to street activity. The motion sensor is triggered by anything coming into the bottom half of it's field of view. From the time someone triggers the motion sensor until the time I'm aware of it is 1-2 seconds. That's about as close to real time as you can get. It's not given me a false alarm even once. Telling my Amazon Show to "(Alexa), show front door cam" takes about 5 seconds to complete. I can also watch triggered video clips and get a live feed while away from home without any extra setup to my network. It's totally automatic. Because of the customer service I received from Ring and the fact the product is much better than I originally thought, I will be expanding my Ring family soon.

Reliable camera with solar keeps it running
Size: 1 Camera
I’ve been running this camera with the solar panel and it’s been solid. The video quality is clear day and night, and the motion alerts come through quick without a lot of false alarms. Setup was straightforward and didn’t take long. The solar panel has been a big plus. It keeps the battery charged so I don’t have to mess with taking it down to recharge. As long as it gets decent sunlight, it stays topped off. The app is easy to use and lets me check things anytime without issues. It’s held up well in the weather so far. Overall, it does what it’s supposed to do and gives me peace of mind. I’d recommend it if you want something low maintenance.

Just a Toy
This is a snippet from a review I provided for the Ring doorbell... "The absolute showstopper is the horrific problem with wi-fi - a problem so consistent and acute that it renders this product useless. The doorbell and the cameras are constantly going offline, and the only way that they can be brought back online is for the user to be onsite and physically reconnect the devices. Talk about unclear on the concept! The whole idea of home security is that you want it working when you're AWAY, Amazon, not just when you're at home. "The slightest network glitch causes the system to completely blow up: a slight power interruption, the router temporarily losing network, etc. However, every single device in my household is smart enough to come back online once the connection has been restored, except...the Ring system. Sometimes, eventually, the doorbell "figures something out" and comes back online, but the cameras? Never. They would be better off as paperweights." I realize that there are reviews here that claim to offer fixes, but that's not the point. These cameras should behave exactly like any other wi-fi device in the house, bar none - but they don't. The signal in my house is not "weak" - I have repeaters all over the place. I have perfect signal strength on my tablets, phones, laptops, and TVs, yet the Ring software claims that - sometimes - my wi-fi signal is "weak". Note the emphasis on the word "sometimes". Although the rest of my devices see my wi-fi signal exactly the same wherever they are, these cameras are different. I've seen indicators that have displayed everything from full signal to no signal to everything in between even though the units are positioned in the exact spot every time, no exceptions. Besides, these reviewers need to read the part I've written here about having to be onsite to bring these units back on line. THIS...is ridiculous. Last, but certainly not least, these cameras BLEED battery. I've had cases where I've been away a week and the motion detection has never come on and when I get back, the batteries are almost gone. This is less of an issue when the cameras have gone offline, of course, but then what's the point of having a camera with some battery left if it was never working in the first place? If there is a way around all this, I'd like to know it, but it should come from Amazon - the vendor, not from product reviewers. UPDATE 8-20-2023: After some great help from a customer service rep (including a replacement door chime), preliminary tests have shown that the cameras now stay online. Of course, only a long-run evaluation will do, but it does seem like things have improved. At issue was a phemomenon called "node hopping" where the cameras seem to randomly seek out other IP addresses on the subnet then attempt to reconnect. Usually node hopping occurs when there are more devices attached to a subnet that what a router is configured to handle, but in my case, even when all my devices are attached, there are plenty of leftover addresses for the cameras to use. This is especially true when we are away where as many as six devices are actually removed from the network. With my new Chime Pro, however, that doubles as a subrouter, the cameras are linked to this device exclusively, so node hopping is supposed to cease. The other issue I had was due to the unusual battery drain on the cameras that I noticed when they are not active and recording. I had not anticipated that they have to remain "alive" for the user so that user can wake them up when needed, or that they wake themselves up when motion is detected. Evidently, this process requires more battery power than I had first believed. Lesson learned is that unless you want to disconnect the cameras and remove the batteries after each use, then be prepared to make sure they are fully charged up before you go away even if they have been little used previously. Thanks again to Melissa for the support and I hope that other folks can benefit from this information.

Perfect Solution for Areas Without Electricity – Easy, Reliable, and Worth It
Size: 1 Camera, Size: 1 Camera
I have to admit, this camera brand has become my favorite. This is already my third device: I have a Ring doorbell, a wall-mounted camera, and now this battery-powered version, which turned out to be exactly what I needed for an area where I don't have access to electricity. I installed it in the hallway of my apartment, right outside the bathroom and bedroom entrances, where there are no outlets, and it has worked perfectly for monitoring that space. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that this area is covered without having to do any complicated installations. One of the things I like most about this brand is the image and audio quality. The image is clear both day and night, and the sound is crisp, which makes a huge difference in daily use. The installation was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly. Motion notifications arrive instantly, allowing me to stay informed at all times. It's been installed for about 15 days and the battery is around 53%, which means it will last about a month depending on usage and the amount of motion it detects. I'm also taking advantage of the 30-day free trial, and what I find excellent is that my current $9.99 plan covers all my devices at no extra cost.It also features two-way audio, integrates seamlessly with Alexa, and has performed well so far, even outdoors. The only thing I'd mention is that battery life is highly dependent on activity, so in busy areas it may require more frequent recharging.

Stop thinking about which 1, get these!
Size: 1 Camera
Should have got these along time ago. Procrastinating way too much. Great quality, wireless, long lasting battery thus far. Easy to install just about anywhere. Can be moved around. Great set I bought 2 of the covers front of the house and rear yard plus my doorbell. Security surveillance all around! Dont think twice you'll be more than satisfied and greatful.just probably upset you didnt get them sooner.
