The Ardent-class torpedo boat destroyers ("Thornycroft 27-knot (50 km/h) A class") served with the Royal Navy. Built by Thornycroft, they displaced 265 tons, and were 200 feet (61 m) long.
The Ardent-class were, except for their armament, identical to the preceding Daring class,[1] being armed with one 12 pounder quick-firing gun forward and five 6-pounder guns, mounted on the broadside and aft, and two torpedo tubes on a revolving mount abaft the two funnels.[2]
