One more shot from the weekend. This is the submarine we visited during the rainstorms on Sunday. The Alliance was laid down in 1947 and although not used in World War 2, it helps create the atmosphere and conditions on board a submarine of the second world war. I can't imagine having to control all these dials and wheels! We were given a fascinating talk by a very smart and proud gentleman of 79 who was only 18 when he was first posted to the submarine branch of the Royal Navy. It has been used as a memorial and museum ship since 1981.
