I was Royal Navy, a Cold War Warrior, surface ships, mostly minesweepers. I did do an underwater warfare course that got me a couple of days seagoing experience in subs, an "A" boat and a "T" boat.

I have also visited the "Vesikko", the Finnish Type IIA, the "Alliance" at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum and the "Lionfish" at battleship Cove, MA. I hope to get to see the U 505 in a couple of months time.
