Meanwhile, the 104 gun HMS Victory, who was one of the worst for damage on the english side, is still above water today and its even worse when you remember the 40 ship french-spanish fleet lost 22 ships (captured or sunk) to the 35 ship fleet of the english who lost none.

Probably the main reason the French and Spanish lost the battle despite having bigger ships and more ships would be the fact that the English ships were smaller making them more agile and faster and seeing as their crew was trained to fire at double the speed in comparison to the French and Spanish, it made the extra cannons the French and Spanish ships had become obsolete and of course Horatio Nelson's tactics

The Santísima Trinidad was the greatest moving engineering machine of its time.
While it's true that it started out poorly, there were no computers like today, when two identical ships were made, even if they were identical, one would turn out better than the other, that's how it was. But the Santísima Trinidad, according to royal texts of the time, after the renovations ended up being a good, surprisingly maneuverable ship for its size. The slowness was somewhat remedied with more sails and bronze plates on its hull.
Due to its size and power, they realized that only several ships could attack it at once; one against one in a line could not counter its firepower.

It was decisive in the conquest of Menorca, which, in the words of the English governor of the island, would have been impossible to conquer without the ship's incessant cannonade, as it destroyed the defensive fortress.

It was also instrumental in the capture of the largest conboy in history in 1780.

During the conquest of Gibraltar, a massive storm drove it far from the scene of the siege, causing it to be driven by strong winds almost to crash against the rocks off the coast of Morocco. These were sailing ships.

In St. Vincent, the inept Spanish admiral split the Spanish fleet into three parts due to overconfidence, and Nelson, with his seamanship—he was a great sailor—took advantage of the situation and nearly captured it because he wanted it for the British Navy. If it was such a bad ship...
Why did Nelson want to capture it?

At Trafalgar, it faced six ships, resisting for almost six hours, and it didn't sink. This gives an idea of ​​the immense quality of this machine.
In fact, Nelson wanted to attack it, the first one, from the very beginning, to capture it for the Royal Navy. It was very brave, and it cost him his life.

How many ships captured by Royal Navy where pressed back into service for RN? You should do a video on them as they were quality ships, also i have enjoyed your videos but you have not referred to significance that Brits had smaller guns but could firte several times to one of French and Spanish
