Choosing one modern ship to fight Trafalgar

Which single ship might Nelson choose to defeat the Franco-Spanish fleet within an hour?

An Atlanta-class or Dido-class cruiser is suggested, with Naiad preferred as a name familiar from his era.

Using a ship from Nelson's own period would make the one-ship premise doubtful, although Victory is the obvious candidate. A modern Ticonderoga-class cruiser's 5-inch guns are dismissed in this scenario as taking too long if their shells merely pass through wooden hulls. The alternatives favour more guns, with an Atlanta-class cruiser or the Dido-class Naiad suggested. Naiad's 5.25-inch shells, especially with an anti-aircraft setting, are expected in this hypothetical answer to detonate against the wooden ships.
