No service until 1875 edit

I have deleted the paragraph "But cholera had passed through the crew so much on the passage from Madras to Calcutta in India, that she was at one time, without hands sufficient to set or take in sail. She was then ordered back to England. The Admiral sent more dead sailors than alive ones to Haslar Hospital in Gosport, Hampshire. It then required four months treatment of sick leave before the ship was ready for action again.[1]" which I do not believe to refer to this ship, although it may refer instead to HMS Forte (1858). I know that this information is on the HMS Undaunted website, but it is totally incorrect; the Undaunted was kept in Reserve at Sheerness from 1861 until 1875.
