The Later M class was an improvement on those of the preceding Yarrow M class, with a narrower beam. Launched in 1917, Truculent joined the Tenth Destroyer Flotilla of the Harwich Force. The flotilla was asked with escorting convoys across the North Sea. The destroyer also escorted the monitors Erebus and Terror in their bombardment of Ostend in 1917 and of Zeebrugge in 1918, both times without casualties. After the Armistice that ended the war, the destroyer was briefly sent to Hamburg in 1919 before being placed in reserve, eventually being sold to be broken up in 1926.
