In 1724, Mary fought in battle against the Spanish Catalán.[3]
Orders were issued on 15 December 1736 for Mary to be taken to pieces and rebuilt according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth, from where she was relaunched on 5 October 1742, and renamed HMS Princess Mary.[2]
Princess Mary served until 1766, when she was sold out of the navy.[2]
