The Arrogant served during the Crimean War which lasted from 1854 through to 1856. During this time, two of the ship's company, Lieutenant John Bythesea and stoker William Johnstone won Victoria Crosses after they went ashore in one of the ship's boats, and intercepted Russian soldiers carrying mailbags.
