HMS Archer (P264) is the lead ship of the Archer-class. It is currently attached to the Aberdeen Universities Royal Naval Unit (URNU) - for students of both the University of Aberdeen and the Robert Gordon University - and allows students of the Unit to receive practical experience in Navigation, Radar, Pilotage and the other skills of seamanship. She is crewed by a complement of 5 full time Royal Navy personnel, but students are encouraged to "learn the ropes" whenever the ship is at sea.
Aberdeen was the first of the URNUs to be created, in 1967.
