Submarine Museum
April 19th, 2010
Now, what would an outing to Gosport be without a trip to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum? It is a great place to visit, both for adults and kids (well some of us big kids thought the interactive areas pretty neat. If I had not had a responsible adult to escort, I probably would have spent more time playing pirate…)
The submarine portion was an escorted tour. Our escort retired from his job as a torpedo instructor ten years ago. Since then, he has been a volunteer here at the museum. This set of photos are all from inside the HMS Alliance – there are more photos but I will save them for a rainy day.

Hmmm…no way would you get me into a submarine – no, not even on dry land!
Great! Had been there twice. Did You also visit HMS Victory, HMS Warrior? The Royal Marines Museum is also just a few miles away. Active Duty & Reserves get a free tour, even Germans :-)
