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!

Easily supports a pair of 26" displays
Size: Dual, Style: Free-Standing
I have no complaints with this stand. It is not as nice as the Inland brand sold at MicroCenter, but it does its job. It beats the price of the MicroCenter one, thats for sure. It comes with all the hardware you might need, even long screws and bushings if you have a display that needs them. Assembly was quick. It comes mostly assembled anyway. You have to put the bottom on the post then attach the assembled arms to the post. Setting up can be a challenge but with help, its easy. After mounting the bracket on the back of the displays, you just slide them into the receiver on the arms. Once mounted, adjusting the position is simple, but can take a while as there are several joints which can be positioned to angle the displays as you like. The cord clips do an OK job of cord management, but the clips are not as good as the Inland ones. They do the job, but not as durable. I broke the one that goes on the post, but I tried getting it to hold a wad of wire. My fault. I recommend this stand.

It's simple, it works, & its price makes for a good deal
Size: Single, Style: Free-Standing
I needed a stand for a 27" VIZIO TV that had been wall-mounted for a few years, & (?) the original stand must've got the toss long ago... It's hard to say... I found this stand on Amazon priced right, plus it had a coupon attached to the listing. I scrolled down & I saw a "newer model" of the same product was available, so I was initially hesitant. But, looking at the product pictures, reading the description, & scanning through some of the reviews, then the same with the "newer model" — the only difference I could see was mostly aesthetic (it also appears to have a desk mount included, which wouldn't have worked for me regardless of its purpose—either for conversion to a desk stand-off mount, or to further secure the stand....?) Eventually, I just thought "....it's a stand with a VESA mount; how do you **** that up...?" And I really couldn't think of anything...even if the VESA bracket was milled not to spec (it is milled to spec), I could have still made it work....(?) So, I made the purchase, received it, & 9-10 screws later, the TV had a stand. & I'm guessing a much more versatile stand than the original. The bracket that attaches the stand to the VESA mount can lower or raise the TV quite a bit. Even in it's highest position, it's still retains its sturdiness & remains stable. The baseplate has a decent amount of weight, and its overall design is well balanced to favor stability (to a tolerance; e.g., an old CRT monitor just isn't going to work). The stand is literally 4 basic pieces—the VESA bracket, an articulating bracket, a metal tube, & a metal baseplate. If you have a standard phillips screwdriver, then the stand is easy to assemble. If you have any experience with TV mounts, or TV stands, then it assembles in less than 15 minutes. Given what you get for the price, the ease of assembly, the added versatility, if you need a stand for a screen within the manufacturer's specific tolerances, then I would absolutely recommend this stand.

Decent Monitor Stand with Some Assembly Required
Size: Single, Style: Free-Standing
This monitor stand works pretty well and is a good value for the price. It’s sturdy and adjustable, which makes it perfect for a variety of monitors, including my 32-inch curved Samsung. The assembly is straightforward if you have a Phillips screwdriver and something to tighten bolts, like a wrench. It’s solid once it’s put together and holds my monitor securely. The phone holder could use some improvement. It doesn't adjust to face me directly, which is a bit annoying. The stand itself is great for saving desk space and providing better ergonomics, but it can be a bit of a hassle to assemble if you’re not handy with tools. Overall, a good buy if you need a reliable monitor stand.

Works, Good product, but wouldn't recommend for specifically 3 27inch screens.
Size: Triple, Style: Free-Standing
I purchased this stand to have 3 27inch 2560x1440 monitors, with the side ones angled towards me in a typical 3-monitor setup often seen being used by racing or aviation simulator guys. This stand's arms for the two side monitors are not long enough to have said monitors angled more than 5 to 8 degrees meaning they are forced to be completely linear which is incredibly awkward to try to use because you can barely see or use the screen space on the far edges. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞, 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. The product description should not say it can hold 3 27 inch screens because the amount of struggling I had to do to get it to be acceptable was ridiculous. The stand is... not heavy enough to safely hold monitors of this size either, and additional weight was required ( 2 10lb dumbbells in my case ) configuring the height of your monitors with this stand can be dangerous as well as they could fall down the central post so you have to be extremely careful, but, it is pretty easy other than that. It is a great option if you don't have a desk with an edge for typical stands ( I don't. ) You can place the stand anywhere, and you don't have to drill through your desk if you really don't want to. The cable clips are a very nice included bonus, and they sent me a replacement without any hassle when I totally effed up my first attempt at setup. But, I would have shopped harder and got something else if I knew all this prior all the same. Maybe even bought a gigantic curved screen instead.

Everyone likes the extra outlets and spacing!
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
I have a livestream desk shared by a team where we have lots of equipment. We were always running out of outlets and the team had nothing but praise when I installed this 16 outlet replacement. The spacing is perfect for a variety of bricks, plugs and adapters of all sizes. It's metal construction seems very durable and it's easily to mount it solidly to the wall with the wings at each end. The power cord is sufficiently beefy and lighted switch at one end a plus. Overall, we're very happy with its design, capability and value. The extra praise for doing a simple replacement was nice too!
