Frank Nowosielski had first served on Victory from 1989 - 1992 as its First Lieutenant and was so inspired by the experience of working onboard that he was determined to come back to the ship as Commanding Officer. Six years later, on May 1, 1998, he took command and saw Nelsons flagship through a number of changes, including an intense period of restoration and maintenance.

He was awarded the MBE in 2002 for his services to the ship. His naval career was extended to oversee the celebrations marking the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar the most high profile and busy period the ship has known since coming into dry dock in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in 1922.
