HMS Tremendous

HMS Tremendous

HMS "Tremendous" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 30 October 1784 at Deptford.

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.
