HMS Raider is an Archer-class patrol and training vessel of the British Royal Navy.^[1]^[2] Along with HMS Tracker, Raider is part of the Faslane Patrol Boat Squadron based at HMNB Clyde.

Characteristics

Raider is one of sixteen 20.8-metre (68 ft 3 in), 54-tonne P2000 patrol craft operated by the Royal Navy. She is constructed from glass-reinforced plastic. As a "batch 2" vessel, Raider has a sustainable top speed of 24 knots (44 km/h; 28 mph), 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph) faster than the earlier batch 1 vessels. Both Raider and Tracker operate in the force protection role, providing maritime security for high value shipping in the Firth of Clyde, and are armed with three general purpose machine guns.

Service

Raider, formerly of Cambridge URNU, became Bristol URNU's training ship in Summer 2010, superseding HMS Trumpeter. In October 2012 she joined the Faslane Patrol Boat Squadron to replace HMS Dasher, which returned to Bristol URNU.
