也许1804年海军为入侵英国计划好了也有比较好的执行人,可是天不帮拿破仑。这位在1804年8月病故,拿破仑只好找有特殊逃跑技能的维尔纳夫指挥主力舰队。
In 1801, Bonaparte gave command of a fleet in Brest to Latouche-Tréville. Interested by the plans for the invasion of England, Bonaparte and Minister Forfait gave him command of a flotilla in Boulogne. In this position, on 4 August and 15 August, 1801, Latouche-Tréville repelled the attacks of Admiral Nelson; The English lost 6 ships sunk, one captured, 44 dead (including Parker, aid to Nelson), 126 wounded and 3 prisoners; the French lost one captured ship, 8 killed, 12 missing and 34 wounded.
这里看出他在1801年和纳尔逊打了个平手,对于海战技术不行的共和国海军已经够本了。这也许这和滑铁卢的大雨在关键时刻一样帮了英国大忙。
