Picture
HMS Ranger is an Archer Class patrol and training vessel which I photographed on 24 and 25 May 2013 when she visited Liverpool as part of the Battle of the Atlantic Celebrations.

She was built at Shoreham On Sea in 1987 by Watercraft Ltd and was originally allocated to Ulster Division of the Royal Navy reserve based in Belfast.

In 1991 she went to Gibraltar with HMS Trumpeter to form the Gibraltar Squadron returning to the UK in 2004.
Picture
She has a displacement of 54 tonnes and is 20.8m long with a beam of 5.8m and 1.8m draft.
 
Propulsion consists of 2 Rolls Royce M800T diesel engines rated at 1590 bhp giving a service speed of 18 Knots and range of 550 Nautical Miles.

Her complement can vary from 12 Royal Navy personnel to 6 training staff and 12 students.

If necessary she can be armed with 3 x 7.62 mm GPMG's, a 20mm cannon can also be fitted.

Photographed in Liverpool's Albert Dock 24  May 2013 (top) and 25 May 2013 (bottom).

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
