In 1998 HMAS Ardent was declared surplus to training requirements and subsequently transferred to Darwin at the request of the then Administrator of the Northern Territory, Mr Neil Conn. The plan was to preserve her at the Northern Territory Museum in Fannie Bay as a memorial to the Attack Class patrol boats that had served in Darwin and to the two sailors who were lost in HMAS Arrow during Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Day 1974.
The idea was greeted with indifference by the then County Liberal Party Government, on the grounds of costs for relocation, and the ship remained laid up at Darwin Naval Base for a number of years. Ex HMAS Ardent was subsequently declared for disposal and in 2002 the ship was demilitarised and sold to Singapore interests for use as a fishing boat. Her ultimate fate remains unknown. 23Feb76 ( talk) 09:09, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Per the last comment in the above section and the photo added here today, does anyone know how we could prove/disprove with reliable sources that Ardent and Tenggiri are the same vessel? The only cited claim in List of current ships of the Indonesian Navy is to match the Indonesian pennant number to the Indonesian name, and this is to a Blogspot blog. -- saberwyn 08:48, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Numerous references on the Indonesian Navy web site to KRI Tenggiri with the number 865 as recent as December 2013. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] An article from the Bali Post from 2003: "menambah lagi dua Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia (KRI) yakni KRI Layang (805) dan KRI Tenggiri ... Sedangkan KRI Tenggiri merupakan kapal eks MV Ardent Australia" ("added two warships of the Republic of Indonesia (KRI) KRI Layang (805) and KRI Tenggiri ... KRI Tenggiri ex MV Ardent Australia") [6] Calling it MV Ardent suggests it was bought from civilian service. Weyer's Warships of the World, Volume 66 (2005) lists Tenggiri as ex-Ardent. 203.9.185.136 ( talk) 02:33, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
