 Nelson had planned to replace Gould, selecting George Murray instead.Murray became the missing brother, his ship required a major refit and he was unable to take part in the battle.Nelson's ability to inspire his captains, and to leave them free to fight their ships as they believed best in the heat of the battle was linked to his description of the captains as his "band of brothers", and later came to be referred in a general manner to those under his command later in his career.
