It was launched from Portsmouth in December 1735. Between 1739 and 1743 it served off Porto Bello and Cartagena in Vernon’s Squadron, and was redeployed to the Channel Fleet under Norris in 1744. It served briefly in the Mediterranean before going to Jamaica in 1745 where it saw action against the French. In all, it was in service for three decades before being broken up in 1765.
