             HMS Example is an Archer class patrol vessel attached the Northumbrian University Royal Naval Unit (URNU). Her primary role is to provide training to Officer Cadets and prepare them for a career in the Royal Navy.  Her officer cadets are drawn from the universities of Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Teeside and Sunderland. The Northumbrian URNU provides a three year package of training and activities to students in order to broaden their knowledge of the Royal Navy and its activities, with the ultimate aim of teaching them the skills and attributes required for a Naval career. HMS Example has a permanent ship’s company of five, but can deploy up to 20 personnel, including students and training officers. Their responsibilities include:
Naval experience
Naval training
Navigation training
Officer training
Providing support on Royal Navy and NATO exercises
Personal development
Leadership training

As the only Royal Navy ship permanently based at HMS Calliope in Gateshead, HMS Example undertakes a wide variety of engagements in the region. She is proud to be affiliated with HMS Dauntless, HMS Northumberland, 703 Naval Air Squadron, the town of Whitby and Northumberland District Sea Cadet Corps.

Example was built by Watercraft Ltd of Shoreham by Sea and launched in 1985. She was initially delivered to the Royal Navy Auxiliary Service (RNXS) as an auxiliary service vessel with the pennant number A153. She was the lead vessel of a batch of four vessels known as the Example class, but was identical in design to the Archer class of patrol boats being simultaneously built for the Royal Navy. Example and her sisters were transferred to the Royal Navy when the RNXS disbanded in 1994. She retained her existing name, but was reclassified as a patrol boat of the Archer class, and was given the new pennant number of P165.
The ship played a prominent role in the 2004 Entente Cordiale celebrations, and escorted HMS Endurance in the 2005 International Fleet Review. In 2012, in the company of sister ships Explorer, Ranger and Trumpeter, Example undertook a 12 week deployment visiting Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany before transiting the Kiel Canal and attending Kiel Week. The deployment continued to Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Tallinn before returning to the UK.
In November 2016, Example rejoined the fleet after a prolonged refit during which she received new engines allowing the ship to reach speeds of up to 22 knots (25.5 mph - 41 km/h).
HMS Example is seen moored on Lake Lothing, Lowestoft, Suffolk.
