Francis Drake

Horatio Nelson, who sacrificed his arm for his country.
Sir Francis Drake would have found it hard to play bowls with only one arm.

Nelson. A true leader of men, a great naval commander. Drake was a loner, had no cares for anyone else but himself and would quite happily leave others to their fate to save his own skin or increase his wealth as displayed many times during his voyages and especially during the cruise of the Armada up the Channel.

Nelson.
Drake was great and did a lot of things that were pretty amazing, but he didn't do the same level as Nelson.
Nelson's naval victories are the stuff of legend. Even his final, fatal battle demonstrated how good he was.
You don't see the British building massive monuments to Drake do you? They plowed up entire blocks to make one for Nelson.

Horatio Nelson is my choice.

I would most definitely go with Horatio Nelson,
Here's a little excerpt from his last notes in his diary:
"At daylight saw the Enemy's Combined Fleet from East to E.S.E.; bore away; made the signal for Order of Sailing, and to Prepare for Battle; the Enemy with their heads to the Southward: at seven the Enemy wearing in succession. May the Great God, whom I worship, grant to my Country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious Victory; and may no misconduct in any one tarnish it; and may humanity after Victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to Him who made me, and may his blessing light upon my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen."
Thank you :)
