Summer holidays

What did you do on your summer holidays?
I managed to get to the HMS Raleigh open day.This is really a family day for the people based there but my family and I turned up nevertheless.
Raleigh is where all new RN seamen do their basic training,but it is also the home of the RN submarine school and museum!
I had a look at their periscope recognition training device,saw a towed array,xbt etc.
We were having a picnic under a tree near the parade ground and the base commodore made a bee-line for us to say hello.
I also saw a t-boat in the adjacent dockyard plus a few frigates.So not a bad summer holiday.
