“The Battle of Trafalgar established British naval supremacy for more than 100 years.”

101 years actually, 1815 until 1916.

Really longer than that because while a tactical tie, the Royal Navy won a strategic victory at Jutland. It was not until WW2 that the Royal Navy was actually a junior partner.
