Steed you under estimate my financial resources,my bid is £12.50 and a bottle of Vodka, plus a few basic navigation lessons thrown in.What I want is interior shots of British s or t-boats!

Unfortunately my nice picture of the interior of an s-boat has disappeared into a small box so here is another one.What was the bill for Steed?

Akula
Taifun
Russki

All failed

I have seen Kaps photo album before, but he had to pull it from the public eye because some of the pics on there weren't supposed to be on public display Oh...and on a totally unrelated subject, there was a man on the grassy knowl, he was blonde, six foot two...

Can't seem to view that image for some reason Linton Says I don't have permission to view that image on this server, try saving it to your harddrive and uploading it to imageshack, that should do the job

If you go to submariners.co.uk and do a search for spartan it will take you to the site.The photos show rather a lot of interesting things!

She has a unique control room layout, completely unlike any other T boat. If you want proof, look at the ship's crest on the black cover that's midships, just to the right of where the video starts. It's fuzzy but you can just about make out her crest which is a horn, like the horn of plenty.

I have spotted the crest.It is used as a screensaver and on a piece of black material.Why did they change the control room layout?How similiar is it to an s-boat in layout?I am surprised as to this unusual layout as she was not first of class.
The green seat covers are very lurid!

I understand she's a testbed for the Astutes, some evidence:

Quote:
Proud possessor of what is probably the world’s most advanced sonar system, the Sonar 2076, HMS Torbay is now equipped with the same combat capabilities as those expected to be included in the Navy’s new Astute-class submarines.
http://www.navynews.co.uk/ships/torbay.asp

Quote:
Sonar 2076, to be fitted under both the Swiftsure and Trafalgar Class Update and the Astute programmes, has already been proven on TORBAY through extensive testing at AUTEC during November 2002.
http://www.baesystems.com/programmes...news/news5.htm

An S Boat has it's wardroom and officer's accommodation fwd of the control room, so their layout is significantly different to the T boats.
