Take a deep dive into the fascinating world of submarines at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.
Discover HMS Alliance, the only remaining Second World War era submarine. Explore the decks and narrow corridors, look through the original periscope, and hear the stories of those who served onboard.
As well as HMS Alliance, you can explore the other submarines including Holland I – the Royal Navy’s first ever submarine – and the X24 mini submarine.
There is also the fascinating Silent and Secret exhibition which follows the Royal Navy’s at sea nuclear deterrent, telling the story of those who served under water for months at a time.
We will be privileged to be joined for the day by former Captain Ian Hewitt who served in a number of diesel and nuclear boats and was awarded an OBE for northern operations in command of HMS Sovereign, one of the navy’s nuclear attack submarines.
After visiting the collection we will meet at a local pub for lunch.
Tickets are also valid for the nearby Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower. Housed inside Priddy’s Hard, an 18th Century former Royal Navy armaments depot, you can marvel at missiles, torpedoes, small arms, cannons, and guns as well as the ammunition that was used inside them. All those who wish can make the short drive after lunch.
Lunch: The Creek at Haslar, cost to own account.
