HMS Cromer (M103)

HMS Cromer (M103)

HMS "Cromer" was a "Sandown" class minehunter commissioned by the Royal Navy in 1992. She was named after the North Norfolk seaside town of the same name.

HMS "Cromer" visited Dundee on November 6th-9th 1998 (for a Dundee navy day and Armistice Day commemorations) when she was accompanied by various warships from European countries including: Norwegian minesweeper N 52 KNM "Vidar", Norwegian minesweeper KNM "Maloy", Dutch minesweeper M 860 Hr.Ms. "Schiedam", Belgian minesweeper M 917 BNS "Crocus", Type 23 frigate HMS Montrose (F236) and German minesweeper F45 FGS "Volkingen".

She was decommissioned in 2001 before being refitted for use as a training ship at the Britannia Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. In keeping with tradition, for this role the ship has been renamed "Hindostan". As she is not a commissioned ship she is not prefixed "HMS".
