HMS Cromer (M103)

HMS Cromer is a former 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 6–9 November 1998 (for a Dundee navy day and Armistice Day commemorations) when she was accompanied by various warships from European countries including: Norwegian minelayer/command ship HNOMS Vidar (N52), Norwegian minesweeper HNOMS Måløy, Dutch minehunter HNLMS Schiedam (M860), Belgian minehunter BELGIAN MINEHUNTER Crocus, Type 23 frigate HMS Montrose (F236) and German minesweeper GERMAN MINESWEEPER Völkingen.

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". In June 2023, she was towed to Portsmouth reportedly for temporary berthing while jetties at Britannia Royal Naval College were refurbished.
