Glasgow & Strathclyde Universities Royal Naval Unit was at sea today aboard HMS SMITER, the Coastal Training Craft based at Faslane and attached to the Unit. Several of these 'Archer' class vessels are attached to universities to provide training for undergraduates, who join the Royal Naval Reserve as Midshipmen. SMITER was built by Watercraft Ltd at Shoreham, in 1986, and although unarmed is capable of 20 knots. She carries a full time complement of five, and up to twelve students.
