Ardenuff
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Ardenuff was an Ork Ravager Attack Ship that fought for Waaagh! Korbul during the Siege of Perlia in the 920's.M41. It took part in the Battle of the Halo, the ambush of Imperial Guard forces arriving in the Perlian system to relieve the embattled forces on that planet, but during the battle its engines exploded, sucking the ship into the Warp[1].
According to Inquisitor Amberley Vail, the vessel's name was an Orkish word roughly translating as "battle-ready."[1]
