HMS ''Tremendous'' was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 30 October 1784 at Deptford.〔 Throughout May 1794 ''Tremendous'', whilst under the command of Captain James Pigott, participated in the campaign which culminated in the Battle of the Glorious First of June. Pigott had kept his ship too far to windward of the enemy to make best use of his guns in the battle; ''Tremendous''s captain was one of several denied medals afterwards.〔(''Naval History of Great Britain'', Volume I ), by William James.〕 On 11 December 1799, she destroyed the ''Preneuse'' at the Battle of Port Louis. On 21 April 1806, she fought the inconclusive Action of 21 April 1806 against ''Canonnière''〔(''Naval History of Great Britain'', Volume IV ), by William James.〕 On 13 May she was present at the surrender of Naples during the Neapolitan War. A British squadron, consisting of ''Tremendous'', the frigate ''Alcmene'', the sloop , and the brig-sloop blockaded the port and destroyed all the gunboats there. Parliament voted a grant of £150,000 to the officers and men of the squadron for the property captured at the time, with the money being paid in May 1819. Early in September 1811, the ''Primus'', carrying tar and hemp, the ''Worksam'', in ballast, the ''Experiment'', carrying iron, the ''Columbus'', carrying linseed, the ''Neptunus'', carrying timber, and the ''Hctor'', carrying sundry goods, came into Yarmouth. They were prizes to ''Tremendous'', , , , , . and .〔''Lloyd's List'', no. 4596,() - accessed 16 May 2014.〕 ==Fate== In 1845 she was reduced to a 50-gun ship, and renamed HMS ''Grampus''. ''Grampus'' became a powder hulk in 1856, and was eventually sold out of the service in 1897.〔〔Ships of the Old Navy, ''Grampus''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Tremendous (1784)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
