In 1735 she was with the fleet of Admiral John Norris in the Tagus. In October 1736 she returned to England and was paid off.〔 She was recommissioned in June 1739 under the command of Captain John Toller, and served with Admiral Nicholas Haddock's fleet in the Mediterranean. Command had passed to Captain Temple West by 1743, under whom she was present at the Battle of Toulon on 11 February 1744.〔 She was recommissioned in January 1746 under the command of Captain Robert Erskine.〔 On 14 July 1747, ''Warwick'' was off the Azores in company with the 40-gun ''Lark'', Captain John Crookshanks, when she encountered the Spanish 74 ''Glorioso'', sailing from the Spanish Main with 3 million dollars in treasure. ''Warwick'' attacked but, left unsupported, was beaten to a standstill, and the ''Glorioso'' escaped. Crookshanks, who was the senior officer, was cashiered.〔Clowes, pp.285–286〕 In 1748, under the command of Captain Thomas Innes, ''Warwick'' was part of the squadron under Sir Charles Knowles in the Caribbean, and took part on the attacks on Fort Saint Louis de Sud and Santiago de Cuba in March and April, and in the Battle of Havana on 12 October 1748.〔 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 Warwick (1733)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
