Dates: 1998 - 2007 HMS Grimsby (M108) is a Sandown-class minehunter of the British Royal Navy, and the third to bear the name. She was built by Vosper Thornycroft, Woolston, and commissioned in 1999.

Sandown MCMVs are highly manoeuvrable vessels and are considered to be the best Minehunters active in the world. Overseas deployments are varied including regular participation in Exercise Cold Response (Norway) and more recently in Support of Op Aintree Roulement in the Persian Gulf. She is affiliated to the fishing town of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. Also, she is affiliated with Grimsby Town F.C., TS Grimsby, the Grimsby and Cleethorpes Sea Cadet Unit, Grimsby Royal British Legion, Grimsby Royal Naval Association, Old Cleethorpes Royal Naval Association, Lady Blackham and Grimsby Hospital.
