HMS Ranger (P293)

HMS "Ranger" is an "Archer"-class patrol and training vessel of the British Royal Navy, based in HMNB Portsmouth. She is affiliated to Sussex University Royal Naval Unit (or URNU), which has its offices at the University of Sussex, Brighton.

HMS "Ranger" was built at Shoreham-by-Sea by Watercraft Ltd. in 1987 and was originally allocated to the Forth Division of the Royal Naval Reserve for Junior Officer training. In 1991 she went to Gibraltar with HMS "Trumpeter" to form the Gibraltar Squadron, and returned to the UK to become Sussex URNU's allocated P2000 in early 2004. Her badge is a ship's wheel superimposed on 7 blue roundels, representing the seven seas.
