Did Trafalgar change warship design?

Trafalgar exemplified mature sailing-era ships and weapons rather than a new technical system.

Question

Did Trafalgar reshape naval weapons or ship design in the way Tsushima did?

Short answer

Not really; it was the apogee of established sailing-era systems rather than a demonstration of new technology.

Notes

Trafalgar brought established ships and weapons to their peak of effectiveness, with little direct effect on naval design or armament.
