Service history
Her first commander was Captain Peircy Brett (later Commodore Brett) and she had a complement of 550 crew. Under Brett on 5 June 1758 she was part of the major British raid on St Malo (totalling around 50 ships).[2]
Norfolk emulated her predecessor (Шаблон:HMS) by reinforcing the West Indies, where she escorted a fleet that was transporting vital stores and six infantry regiments to that region.
In September 1758 command passed to Captain Robert Hughes and under Hughes in January 1759 a successful attack was made on Guadeloupe.
In September 1760 under Captain Richard Kempenfelt, she was part of the Siege of Pondicherry (1760).
On 10 February 1761 she took part in the capture of Mahe. On 24 September 1762 she was part of the Battle of Manila.
She became flagship of the Commander-In-Chief East Indies Station, Rear-Admiral Charles Steevens and his successor Vice-Admiral Samuel Cornish. Norfolk was decommissioned in 1764, after her return to Portsmouth was broken up in 1774.[1]
