My workplace was literally across the road from her for 2 years before she was chopped into 3 big lumps (like a sausage) and moved 2 odd miles to her final, final, final resting place!

there used to be a photo thread here somewhere, i had been to see this at the exhibition with my two children. took some photos of the inside all rusty and old, they are in the thread... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...144308&page=20. it is a lovely boat to see in in its completness. i love the photo you have in the link, you can see the depth charge blast against the side. the black and white photo does it justice too!

shame they sliced it up though, you can not appreciate the gorgeous shape!

hope the link works

cheers
