Have any of our UK members ever been to this event? I was blown away when I checked out the website. I would love to attend this event at least once before I die.

Yes, very typical of the British Navy some years ago that comment, LOL!
Trafalgar 200 is a celebration moreso of the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 where Nelson died whilst heroically leading his navy to victory against the French armada of Napoleon.
