i think we took a wrong turn sir (pics)

[Kapitan]

I was on my travels as of late and decided to stop by rochester in kent england, as i went over a bridge to enter the town i noticed a remarkable sight one ive seen a few times before but never here.

We are not far from the chatham naval base home of HMS Ocelot and HMS Cavalier.

but that is some 5 miles up river this odd sight that stood before me was not no where near a dock just moored up next to a bouy listing slightly to starboard with her only crew pigeons.

Dead in the water and looking worse for wear, on the verge of sinking but making for a striking resemblace of what she once was, she was the most notorius group of vessels ever build by any nation built in a large number only to be later matched by the 688's with very few copies left in the world in any shape she stood a sorry sight in the water.

Beeched possibly dead almost rusted to the bone deteriorating and unable to look presentable, in her hayday she may have been pride of her fleet but today she sits rusting on the river medway a sorry sight but the sorry sight that she is she can now only offer her last grant her metal.
Worth thousands in scrap i believe this is going to be her fate in the near future a vessel that has traveled the globe and has been around since the 1960's is to be no more.

she lays on the strood side of the river medway just on the left hand side of the bridge stood poised ready for her fate.

The vessel is none other than the 475 foxtrot class submarine
