	International Fleet Review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Fleet Review took place on 28 June 2005, as part of Trafalgar 200, the celebrations to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
		The last fleet review by the Queen in the United Kingdom was for the commemoration of Battle of the Atlantic anniversary in 1999.
		This review, however, went with the modern trend to inviting foreign warships too, and was the largest on record in terms of nations attending and of number of ships [1] [2] - 167 naval and merchant ships attended, including 56 British warships.

	rediff.com Special: A curtain-raiser to the International Fleet Review 2001
		Fleet reviews, in the present format, have been held only in 1969, 1976, 1984 and 1989.
		The 1953 review was the first such event; the 1964 review was the only one by a defence minister; the 1966 one was the first review held at sea and, 1969, because it was the first time the Indian Navy's three dimensions were on display.
		A fleet review is principally the President's show since, as the commander-in-chief, he is entitled to inspect his fleet.

	For Trafalgar, shrillness and shrugs - Europe - International Herald Tribune
		According to The Sunday Express, an offer by the French Navy to mark the anniversary by sending the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to an international fleet review by Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday was a plot to "steal the show" with a ship twice the size of anything in the British fleet.
		France, the paper proclaimed, was suffering from a "legacy of embarrassment" over the defeat at Trafalgar, in which the 33-strong combined fleet was trounced by Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's forces, with the loss of 22 ships.
		Colin White, chairman of the Nelson Commemoration Committee, the coordinating body for the bicentenary, is adamant that the anniversary should be a force for reconciliation.
