She was launched in 1913 and was sunk at the Battle Of Jutland in 1916.She joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla on completion and served with the Grand Fleet at the outbreak of War. Loss & Sinking. She was sunk on 1 June 1916 during the Battle Of Jutland by secondary fire from the German dreadnought SMS Westfalen. The wrecksite is designated as a protected place under the Protection of Military Remains Act. ..........This destroyer now found herself alone, and having escaped with little injury, made away southwards in the hope of finding the rest of her division, which in fact had ceased to exist. What she fell in with was something quite different. Lieutenant-Commander A. Marsden in the Ardent saw smoke ahead of him, and thinking it came from his consorts he made towards it. Then the form of a large German ship loomed up, and without hesitation he attacked. Another torpedo was fired at very close range, but before he could see the result he was blinded by the searchlights of four battleships in line ahead. Out of the glare came the inevitable hurricane of shell. In a minute or so the Ardent was a mere mass of scrap-iron, and switching off their lights the enemy disappeared and left her to sink helpless and in total darkness. She was lost with all hands except Lieutenant-Commander Marsden and one man.............. Extract from the Official History; Naval Operations, by Sir Julian S. Corbett. 1923
