www.navsource.org has pics of every USN submarine ever, including boats being decomed.

Probably not what you want, but here are Resolution, Revenge, Repulse, Renown, Churchill, Dreadnought and Swiftsure at Rosyth (from a link I googled): Link
The main visible difference with these boats is that they tend to have permenant safety railings fitted on the casing, and sometimes the fin is cut away - this is to help offset the boat's centre of gravity rising when equipment is removed from inside the boat (for spares etc) |
Push the www button on my signature it will take you to my picture gallery, and low and behold i have a few pictures there.
|
Specifically i was looking for pictures of Conqueror,K19 and any s-boat.
|
You wont find many K19 pictures shortly after the release of the film it was immediatly sent to the breakers, and now no longer exists.
I do have a picture of K19 on my album http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...1/CAYJW3DM.jpg K19 in 2001 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...19asshewas.jpg K19 as she was in 1961 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...navy01/K19.jpg K19 as she was modified in the 70's http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...craphangar.jpg Roughly whats left of K19 |
