  I’m choosing to take the title literally, Nelson now canonically transforms into a frigate

  So my take-away from this: HMS Victory just spent her early career flirting with Nelson from a distance knowing that they were destined to be together.

  And now we wait for the anime adaptation, where he will be portrayed as a 16 year old high school girl that can transform into HMS Victory.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utQjIWF2Dhc&amp;t=641">10:41</a> Drachism of the day<br><br> “Nelson was of a different view [on the chance of a man in melee against an adult Polar Bear] and decided, against the view of his companion to attack the bear with the rear end of the musket”

  Imagine Nelson’s first Navy experiance in a modern context.<br><b>Aboard the USS Iwo Jima</b><br>“Hey Jorge!”<br>“Yea?”<br>“Who’s the 12-year-old poking around the munitions elevator?”<br>“What am I, I nun? Go ask the Captain!”<br>“Ahh, whatever, I got a flight deck to manage, I’m sure he’ll be fine!”

  So what I’m getting so far is that the truest staggering fact of Nelson’s life is just how long he stayed alive in spite of him trying his damndest to get a Darwin Award whilst hollering the period equivalent to “Leeroy Jenkins”

  I&apos;ll never forget how I went from boy to Battlecruiser, in the span of my life as I sailed the Atlantic, hunting the Bismarck. Honestly, the title of the video makes it feel like he got promoted from Boy to Frigate. Gonna start referring to my life stages as ship types from now on
