Étendard was one of 10 Branlebas-class destroyers built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.
During World War I, Étendard was torpedoed and sunk by an Imperial German Navy destroyer in the North Sea off Dunkirk, France, with the loss of all hands on 25 April 1917.
[1] When the First World War began in August 1914, Étendard was assigned to the 1st Destroyer Flotilla (1re escadrille de torpilleurs) of the 2nd Light Squadron (2e escadre légère)[2] based at Cherbourg.
