either they got permission from the MOD or they used a ROV. This is because the Royal Oak is a protected war grave.

A sad fate for one of His Majesty's Battleships

Those super-clear photos aren't photos. If you look closely you'll see the words "artists impression" underneath in small text. :know:

Wow, just look at the list of men who died on the Royal Oak (second link), and that on just one ship! :huh:
Nice find there, thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Amazing to find out it still leaks oil after 70 years.
