Where would Henry of Lancaster fit in a later naval battle?

An openly counterfactual answer places Lancaster at Camperdown, where his aggressive boarding style would suit Admiral Duncan's close action.

Question

If Henry of Lancaster could be placed in a later naval battle, which one would suit him?

Short answer

Camperdown, where his enthusiasm for boarding would fit naturally beside Admiral Duncan.

Notes

The answer is openly counterfactual and selects the Battle of Camperdown. Henry of Lancaster's repeated boarding attacks at Winchelsea are paired with Admiral Duncan's own close-action battle. The joke imagines Lancaster bringing his mace while Duncan supplies pistols and a sword. The comparison underlines Lancaster's aggressive style without claiming a historical connection between the two commanders.
