She was converted to screw propulsion in 1854, renamed HMS ''Conway'' in 1876 whilst on loan as a training ship, and was burnt in 1956. *{{HMS|Nile|1888}} was a {{sclass|Trafalgar|ironclad}} launched in 1888 and sold in 1912.
In addition, the Royal Navy base at Ras el-Tin Point, Alexandria, Egypt, which operated between April 1939 and June 1946, was officially referred to as HMS ''Nile''.
