I agree with his assessment.

HMS Ocean, 2nd Rate. Union at the Main off Gibraltar with tenders, by Hendrik Kobell 1771

She was a second rate with 90-guns. Launched in 1761, it was intended for service under Admiral Edward Hawke. She sailed under him for a short time, but was then considered superfluous and from then on she spent time at home in Portsmouth. In 1772 she became the flagship of Harbour Admiral Spy and served also under other captains, but she never left her place again. Finally she was sold in 1793. About her further fate is unfortunately nothing known. But it is to be assumed that she was broken up.

DISPATCHES FOR ADMIRAL THORNTON by Geoff Hunt

As related in Patrick O’Brian’s novel “Ionian Mission”, the Royal Navy devoted a colossal effort during the Napoleonic wars to the close blockade of the French coast, maintaining fleets of battleships on a permanent basis in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It was the first time in history that blockade on such a scale had been attempted. While the battleships endlessly patrolled their stations, smaller vessels ran to and fro with supplies and information.

In this Mediterranean scene we see the frigate HMS Surprise arriving with dispatches for Admiral Thornton, flying his flag in the massive 110-gun HMS Ocean. Both ships are hove-to, allowing boats to shuttle between them. The Mediterranean is sometimes far from being a peaceful sea, particularly in winter; and rain squalls are sweeping over the fleet.
