Having changed commands several times, in 1727 he fought at the thirteenth siege of Gibraltar in HMS Kent. Hardy commanded the royal yacht HMY Carolina between 1730 and 1742, being knighted in 1732. In 1742 he was promoted to rear-admiral, advancing to vice-admiral in December 1743. Also in that month he became a Lord of the Admiralty, Member of Parliament for Portsmouth, and second-in-command of the Channel Fleet. In the Channel Fleet Hardy participated in the manoeuvres that halted the planned French invasion of Britain, and at the start of King George's War was sent with a squadron to escort transports to the Mediterranean Fleet. Having completed this in May 1744 he returned to England, losing one of his squadron in the action of 8 May 1744. He returned to the Admiralty, where he died on 27 December.
