Admiral Nelson
One-armed naval hero
Admiral Nelson refers to Horatio Nelson, the British naval commander who defeated Napoleon's fleet at Trafalgar in 1805, dying in the battle.
His name appears in naval references and British cultural contexts: Nelson's Column in London, the Nelson touch for tactical brilliance.
A full Nelson and half Nelson are wrestling holds, though the connection to the admiral is unclear.
