Great article...I had a friend (sadly not with us now) who was PO Sonar on those boats :cool:

A good read! Chatham docks are only 1/2 hour from me, so I really must get my finger out and stick my nose in there...:hmmm:

Great story. We've got an Oberon class permanently docked here as part of the maritime museum. Must go and visit it again.

It's a shame that we have no sub here, in Dundee, bearing in mind its status during WWII.

slightly off-topic, but it has just occurred to me that you lot, being such knowledgeable folk, might be able to help. Some time ago I got a book from the library for Best-Beloved to read and ended up reading it myself as well. It was about a young man in the UK who joined the Navy as a Diver, but ended up (and survived) doing bomb-disposal, with a small team in the guts of the ships in the Falklands war. Fascinating and very readable. Engaged me from the first page, and I seldom read books since the computer came into my life. I would like to know the title and author so I can recommend it to others, but it has entirely escaped me. Can you help?? If not I shall put a separate post on.. ps I tried Amazon but did not find it there.
