From Warlike
Q119726363
HMS Nugent was an Admiralty M-class destroyer which served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The vessel had a largely uneventful career. Nugent was one of 85 M class, an improvement on those of the preceding L class, capable of higher speed. The destroyer was launched in 1917 and joined the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla of the Dover Patrol, operating in the Strait of Dover. The vessel was involved in attacks by German destroyers on Dover and the Dover Barrage in 1917 and 1918, but did not have contact with the enemy vessels, inflicted no damage and received no hits. The ship then provided part of the escort to the blockship Vindictive in the Second Ostend Raid but again saw no action. After the Armistice, Nugent was placed in reserve before being sold to be broken up in 1921.
