Welcome to the website of Oxford University Royal Naval Unit and HMS Tracker
Oxford University Royal Naval Unit (URNU) was formed in October 1994 to provide training to students from Oxford, Oxford Brookes and Reading Universities. The syllabus is based primarily around navigation and seamanship both ashore and at sea in HMS Tracker, the unit’s fast patrol boat. The unit provides opportunities for travel, both around the UK and overseas, and for personal development and leadership training.
HMS Tracker was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1998. Her primary mission is to support the URNU’s activities but she is also conducts other RN tasking, including warfare officer training, youth and cadet outreach, fleet trials, VIP transport and engagement with the wider maritime community.
