Benbow is in this picture of the Battle of St. Jean d'Acre, 3 November 1840

In 1840 Benbow saw action in the bombardment of the city of Acre under the command of Admiral Robert Stopford. At the height of the battle either Benbow or the naval steamer Шаблон:HMS fired the shell that destroyed Acre's powder magazine, causing an explosion that greatly weakened the city's defences.[2]

Benbow was used for harbour service from February 1848 until August 1859, when she was converted to be used as a coal hulk. In 1892, after 79 years of service, she was sold out of the Navy, and was broken up in 1895 at Castle, Woolwich.[1]
