HMS Thunderer was a two-deck 84-gun second rate ship of the line, a modified version of the Canopus/Formidable-class launched on 22 September 1831 at Woolwich Dockyard.[1]

She was hulked in 1863 as a target ship at Portsmouth.[1] Thunderer was renamed twice in quick succession: first in 1869 to Comet after (C / 1868 L1 Winnecke), and again in 1870 to Nettle. HMS Nettle was sold in December 1901 to Messrs. King & co, of Garston, to be broken up.[2]
