* The second "Venerable", launched in 1808, was also a 74-gun third rate, on harbour service from 1825, and broken up in 1838.
* The third "Venerable", launched in 1899, was a Formidable class battleship, sold in 1920.
* The fourth "Venerable" (R63), launched in 1943, was a "Colossus"-class aircraft carrier. She was sold to the Royal Netherlands Navy in 1948 and renamed "Karel Doorman", and later sold to the Argentine Navy and renamed "Veinticinco de Mayo".
