I should make sure your 'sea legs' are fully sorted first!

Some of the views seem a bit cockeyed to me - like there was
a 'bit of a swell'  when they were taking the photos!

Another 360 degree view inside the Danish "Springeren" submarine. Click sub logo in panel. www.springeren-maritimt.dk/plan-your-visit/360-virtuel-tour   Superb quality.

I was inside the Ocelot only last Saturday.


Went to Chatham dockyard for the day and had a great time looking around the Cavalier, Ocelot and Gannet. The lifeboat display is very well done too and well worth a visit if you're in the area.  :-)

Aaaaah...thanks for finding this one Richard  :-))
- it's brought back a lot of memories from serving onboard Ocelot - some good, some bad, but all cherished.
