HMS Boxer was the first of the Batch 2 Type 22 frigates of the Royal Navy. She was decommissioned on 4 August 1999 and expended as a target in August 2004. Her nickname was The Billy B or Pinocchio, due to her extended bows. [citation needed] She was one of only two Batch 2s (the other being Beaver) fitted with the lower-height hangar of the batch 1s, so she could only accommodate Lynx helicopters. On coming out of refit in 1990, with a clean bottom she achieved close to 34 knots.
