From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
HMS Victory

HMS Victory was the flagship of Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson, mastered by Flag Captain Thomas Hardy, during the Battle of Trafalgar. (PROSE: H.M.S. Tardis [+]Loading...["H.M.S. Tardis (short story)"])

During the battle, the ship carried the message "England expects that every man will do his duty" on its masts. This was due a suggestion Panda made to Nelson shortly before the battle. (PROSE: Project: Wildthyme [+]Loading...["Project Wildthyme (short story)","Project: Wildthyme"])

The Second Doctor materialised his TARDIS on board the vessel during the battle. Whilst there, he, Ben and Polly unsuccessfully tried to rewrite history and prevent Nelson from being mortally wounded during the battle. (PROSE: H.M.S. Tardis [+]Loading...["H.M.S. Tardis (short story)"])
