		In 1794 she was present at Lord Howe’s famous victory of "The Glorious First of June", and in 1799 served during the blockade of the fleet at Rochefort.
		Five years later she assisted H.M.S. London to capture the French ship Marengo, while in 1813, when lying off New London, the Americans attempted to destroy her with a primitive torpedo; she was scrapped in 1850.

		The conclusion that we have come to is that these phenomena we actually visible in both places almost simultaneously, and the fact that many witnesses state that the whole of the after part of the ship blew up does not conflict in any way with this conclusion.
		The evidence supplied by Captain Carslake as regards the noise of the explosion which sank HMS Invincible in 1916, is of interest in this connection and gives an indication of the totally different impression that a single occurrence may have on the minds of different witnesses in like circumstances.
		The principal lesson of the loss of H.M.S. "HOOD" is that the magazines of a warship should be so situated and protected that, so far as can be foreseen, it is impossible for a shell or splinters of a shell to penetrate such a vital compartment.
