Right, she went to Lerwick

............Warspite barely made it back to the international harbour of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands, under the escort of an American fighter plane. Warspite suffered serious damage to her central fin, which the Russian submarine had basically ploughed through the centre of. In order to deny the Russians a chance to see the damage caused to Warspite's central fin, a Royal Naval repair team were sent out by helicopter to join the submarine at Lerwick, and overnight they hastily constructed a wooden scaffold over the damaged central fin, over which they secured a large black tarpaulin, making it seem to any passing Russian spotter plane that no damage had actually been caused to one of the few nuclear submarines Britain possessed at that time. The Warspite then made its way back to Faslane on the Clyde............
