Guard ship
A guard ship is a warship stationed at some port or harbour to act as a guard, and in former times in the Royal Navy to receive the men impressed for service. She usually was the flagship of the admiral commanding on the coast. A guard-boat is a boat which goes the round of a fleet at anchor to see that due watch is kept at night. In Soviet terminology a guard ship is a small, general purpose patrol and/or escort vessel. An example of a guard ship is HMS Clyde which is stationed in the Falkland Islands.
