[1][4] 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.

[5] While operating in the Indian Ocean, on 25 April 1799 Tremendous, Jupiter, and Adamant recaptured Chance as she lay at anchor under the guns of the battery at Connonies-Point, Île de France.

A British squadron, consisting of Tremendous, the frigate Alcmene, the sloop Partridge, and the brig-sloop Grasshopper blockaded the port and destroyed all the gunboats there.

These were bolted through the frames and provided a significant increase in hull stiffness, counter-acting the tendency of the ship's structure to 'work', or move slightly.

Neptune is a potentially problematic figure to modern audiences with popular retellings and re-imaginings of Greek and Roman mythology exposing male characters for their violence towards women (see: The Myth of Medusa and Poseidon[14]).

[15] This figurehead was inspired by Roman divine hero, Hercules, but was rejected following a name change to HMS Grampus, for which Hellyer & Sons submitted another design just three months later on 7th June 1845.

[18] Tremendous was ordered to be broken up at Deptford in 1844, but during inspection prior to the work commencing she was found to be in excellent condition.

During this work, seemingly poorly executed, 5 ft 6 in was added to the aft end of her gundeck, to enable her to carry the intended number of guns.
