She underwent her first rebuild at Portsmouth Dockyard, where she was reconstructed as a 70-gun third rate built to the 1706 Establishment, and relaunched on 6 July 1708.[2] Her second rebuild also took place at Portsmouth, from where she was relaunched on 21 May 1722 as a 70-gun third rate of the 1719 Establishment.[3]
