H.M.S. Adventure was one of eight Sentinel class Scout Cruisers completed for the Royal Navy in 1905.
Service
Completed to full crew at Chatham on 18 June, 1907.[8]
She re-commissioned at Devonport on 25 April, 1911 for service with the Second Destroyer Flotilla.[9]
Reduced to nucleus crew at Devonport on 29 December, 1911, by August 1912 she was working with the Seventh Destroyer Flotilla.[10]

In 1938, her bell was one of a number ships' bells the Royal Navy offered for sale to officers and others interested. It commanded a price of between £3-£10 plus packing and shipping. Interested parties were to apply to win one at its stated price, stating any special attachment or claim they had to the item(s) applied for.[12]
