HMS Kent (D12) was a County-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She suffered a fire during refitting in 1976 but was repaired. Kent decommissioned in 1980 and became a static accommodation ship for Sea Cadets. She was paid off from this in 1987 and became a training hulk at Dartmouth until stricken in 1993. Kent was sold for scrap in 1998.
