I think there was a rather fun ASB thread which concluded that you could hit Spithead with a meteorite in any given naval review year in the 19th century and the RN would still be able to beat any other single navy.
When you're talking about an alliance of convenience between two European powers AND a convenient meteorite, you're no longer discussing a plausible TL but a pulp novel.
It'd be an awesome pulp novel, though. "The Falling Stars of Nelson"?
