Sandwich took part in the
Battle of Beachy Head in 1690 during the
Nine Years' War. At the
Battle of Barfleur in 1692, she failed to anchor during the flood tide at evening and was swept through the French fleet, taking several raking shots. Her captain, Antony Hastings, was killed. She underwent a rebuild at
Chatham Dockyard, from where she was relaunched on 21 April 1715 as a 90-gun second-rate built to the
1706 Establishment. She was commissioned in 1720 under Captain William Faulkner for service in the Baltic as
flagship of Admiral Sir
John Norris. From March 1720 to November 1721,
William Smellie, later a pioneer of obstetrics, served as the ship's surgeon. In 1723, she was fitted as a
guard ship and served until 1725 under Captain
Salmon Morrice at Blackstakes. Between October 1729 and October 1733, she underwent a great repair at Chatham, costing £. In the spring of 1741, she was fitted as a flagship at Chatham and recommissioned in January under Captain Samuel Mead for the
Channel. In June 1741, she was under Captain
Charles Brown, and from October under Captain Samuel Atkins, again serving in Norris's fleet. She was commanded in 1742–43 by Captain Sir William Hewitt in home waters. In 1744, she was commanded by Captain Roger Martin as flagship of Rear-Admiral
William Martin in Norris's fleet, including convoy duty to Lisbon between April and May. In April 1745, she was at
Portsmouth under Captain
Harry Powlett, in July briefly under Captain
Philip Saumarez, and from October under Captain John Hume. ==Fate==
