:I just read it. Nelson was in agreement as to the correction of the message, so there's no problem. And HMS ''Victory'' flies the signal every year. But you still provided an interesting source, and It's included in the article.[[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 19:35, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

::Just to let you know, it was the Signal Officer (Lieutenant Pasco) who made the change. Nelson knew Pasco had a great deal of experience in flag signaling, so naturaly he would agree to the correction. And the term "Flag Officer", if I can correct you on that, does not refer to someone in any navy who's in charge of flags; it's a grade of four to five individual ranks containing the title "Admiral", who is command of a fleet of ships, one of which is the "flagship" i.e. the ship where his command is at and where he has "broke" (or unfurled and flown) his personal flag. At Trafalgar Nelson's military rank was Vice-Admiral, and I think the second column of ships under his command was led by a rear-admiral. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 19:48, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
