In 1798, some of her crew were court-martialed for mutiny.{{cite journal |last1=MacDougall|first1=Phillip |date=2022 |title=The Naval Mutinies of 1798 |journal=The Mariner's Mirror |volume=108 |issue=4 |pages=423–428 |publisher=Society for Nautical Research}}
Glory served as the flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Stirling at the Battle of Cape Finisterre in 1805, commanded by Captain Samuel Warren.
Glory was re-rated as a prison ship at Chatham on 27 September 1809. Lieutenant Richard Simmonds commanded her in 1810 and 1811.{{sfnp|Winfield|2008|p=21}}{{refn|In 1812 Simmonds assumed command of the gunbrig {{HMS|Attack|1804|6}}.{{sfnp|Winfield|2008|p=339}}|group=Note}} His replacement was Lieutenant Robert Tyte and Vice Admiral George Murray in 1794.{{sfnp|Winfield|2008|p=21}}
