Is it possible for Copenhagen to have turned into a complete disaster for the RN? Better preparation by the Danes, several British ships-of-the-line grounded and pounded by shore batteries, the ships-of-the-line in the Inner Run and in the harbor sortie, and perhaps Nelson and Parker are killed? The Danish fleet would certainly have taken a pounding, but what would the effect of shattering a British squadron in the process be?

EDIT: The 1801 battle, if it isn't clear.
