    Don't know if he's the typical example.

    He fought 4 1/2 hours in the battle.

    He did, but was picked by sharpshooter. Officers are usual targets, if get recognized.

    "4 1/2 hours"? _Victory_ first fired about 12:45PM; Nelson was shot about 1PM, and spent most of the battle below deck coughing up his death rattle. (Even if we include when _Victory_ first started taking fire from the Combined Fleet, Nelson only lasted an hour.)
