HMS Cromer is a former 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 6âÂÂ9 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 , Norwegian minesweeper , Dutch minehunter , Belgian minehunter , Type 23 frigate and German minesweeper .
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.
