HMS Archer (P264) is the lead ship of the Archer class of P2000 fast patrol boats. It is currently attached to the University of Aberdeen Royal Naval Unit (URNU) 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.
