The Battle of Copenhagen

Nelson burned for action. He reviewed intelligence reports, studied maps and came up with a detailed plan for fighting the danes. The ships were ready to sail. But parker's motto was everything in good order. It wasn't his style to hurry. Nelson would use his mobility to take out the danish guns. Sandbars were no threat. As for the wind, aggressive action was more important than fretting over wind. A shot through the mainmast nearly hit him. His speech energized parker's captains. Even sir hyde was impressed,. And the battle began.
