I think that there is an error on this page.

Samuel Hood is described as having first been Commander of HMS Lively, and then as having returned to the Channel Fleet and serving in her as Midshipman.

This would not have happened - a commander was a commissioned officer, whereas a midshipman was a sort of "trainee" officer - a commander would never have reverted to a midshipman.

There is a page for Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood which gives details of his career.
