No account of the life and times of Admiral Sir John Balchen would be complete without a mention of the Victory and the part played by the ship before the tragedy in the English Channel in October 1744.

Sir John Norris was in command of the Channel Fleet in the early 1740s, and this probably accounts for Sir John Balchen being given the Victory for the expedition to relieve Sir Charles Hardy's fleet blockaded by the French in the Tagus Estuary in 1744.
