Tom Heppell, I've sent you an e mail with a SELJUK explanation. We had females at sea on Swiftsure Tom, they were called stewards then. Ooops! Apols to all the Nigel maintainers around, I meant it as a term of endearment of course ;) |
|
Up for routine, nothing for us as usual, GOOD. Heaven is 500ft in a force 12.! p.s. can we have our guest book back please? |
|
Pete Seljuk, Glad you remember me; yes, I was on Swiftsure in the seventies, I'm sorry to say that your name doesn't ring a bell. What branch were you? Agree the Collins Class looked good but there were females on board!! Just didn't look right! Good to know that Steve has made a go of his transfer down under though. |
| Tom Heppell.....that name rings a bell, I served with you on Swiftsure in the seventies. Hiya matey, I saw the programme you mentioned. I admired the way they made loads of noise until the attempted transit through those two islands then went PQS. Didn't suss out if they eluded the Elmers or not though. The Collins class looked a good boat, but seemed to be carrying an awful lot of opdefs. |

Searching for info on Subs - Regent, P36, Tuna, Oberon (1st), Vivid & Proteus, I have photos of all 6 of them. I am putting together an album for my Grandfather who served in the Navy/Subs during WWII - I am very proud of my him. |

Up to see who is around. Saw a "Submariners" programme last night on UK Travel (I know, I know...) It was a documentary about HMAS Rankin. The CO was a certain Steve Hussey who I knew as a PO(TS) in the early 80's. Happy New Year to all. Tom |

As a P&O; deck officer and RNR List One Lieutenant, I volunteered for submarines in 1966 and was fortunate to serve under three brilliant submarine COs: Geoff Biggs, Barry Carr and Dick Husk. Following basic training at Dolphin and seatime in Otus, I returned to my 'other life' as Second Officer of P&O;'s SS Oronsay, where I was able to regale my bridge watchkeeping chums with amazing stories of submarine COs - men younger than them(!) who could think, navigate and fight in three dimensions! In 1970 I passed my masters certificate and after a spell as first officer of SS Chusan, I married and embarked upon Nuclear Training at RNC Greenwich, joining NXC32 and shortening my Spanish honeymoon by three days! By comparison to master's FG at Sir John Cass, NXC32 was akin to comparing spherical trigonometry with Euclid and calculus, resulting in the burning of much midnight oil! I was in good company, alongside such eminent submarine stalwarts as Andrew Thomson, Chris Belton and Dick Channon - men destined for the higher echelons of SSN and SSBN command. Following an exciting time in the simulator, I joined Valiant, under the command of Disk Husk, at Devonport. Easter 1982 saw me giving up my day job with a French submarine company and mobilised for the Falklands War. Somewhat older, I was given the impressive title of STUFTO! There are few who can say they got STUFT for Queen and Country - but I certainly did! During Op Corporate, I was enormously privileged to be based at Northwood, serving under the late and very great Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse. I had read of such men as a boy; leaders in the mould of Cochrane, Nelson and Fisher. But in all my life I had never met such a man as John Fieldhouse - or such a marvelous ADC as his darling and devoted 'Midge'. What a marvelous team - they were quite simply: fantastic. I last saw John Fieldhouse at a City Livery function -we were both Shipwrights - and learned of his untimely passing while driving home from work at the Plessey Company, where I was head of export marketing in the Naval Systems division. The news came as a great shock and I had to pull over to the side of the road. I was very fond of the man; admiring and respecting him greatly. The John Fieldhouse Building and �Commander-in-Chief� by Basil Watson are fitting tributes to this great, charismatic, modest and unassuming Yorkshireman. With his passing, our country lost its noblest Son. |
| Bill, what the hell was Tugwell doing over Rona and in my beloved Gypsy Moth ? Wait until I see the young blighter he'll be right back to the front before he knows it, I've had to get another fello in to see to the hunter. |

Unsure of his career in boats so any information from anyone who may have known him would be welcome. Hoping there may be a record in the museum archives too. |

Hi! All Great Site Looking for anyone that may know or know the whereabouts of my father Bill (Simo) Simpson. He was a Canadian submariner that came over to the UK. Served Between 1955-1968 believe he was on the HMCS Sioux and also on the HMS Explorer, Excalabur, Alderney and the Tiptoe. He was on the Tiptoe in 1964 as i have a souvinier from Londonderry. He had a few shipmates that my mum can recall Bill Nasby and Bert Gould. Any information would be greatly appreciated. |

Came down to Pompey a couple of weeks ago,looked across at Dolphin,it will never be the same again. Fair enough, the TANK is still there,but what is Pompey without the HOME OF SUBMARINERS.I dont think Iwill ever come to Pompey again,there is definately an air of something missing.Felt like I had one of my arms cut off.No dissrespect to the museum,who are doing a fantastic job.LOST SOUL (HOMELESS) leading Seaman..Dave Silburn..EX:CHURCHILL,VALIANT,WARSPITE,COURAGIOUS & SUPERB. |

| I would love here from anyone that may have known my Dad John Norman Stone. He often talks about his days in the RN. Imnot sure what the name of the Sub was but it sruck a mine and went to the bottom. He mentions he was one of the few to get out alive. He knows Im sniffing around trying to find out information about his service days and is now reluctant to give up information. I think he still feel terible about his crewmates. Any info you can give or other sites I could look at would be great, all treated with the greatest respect. Thank you. |

My Wife and I enjoyed our visit to Dolphin last Friday. We were very impressed with our guided tour arround HMS Alliance. As our guide told it like it was answering all questions about all aspects of life aboard Submarines. We spent about 4 hours looking round the museums and trying the many active exhibits. Well done thank you for a memorable day. Terence Whitworth |

My great uncle served on HMS SALMON and I have a solid silver cigarette box and solid silver match box which has the subsricption on it which says TO PETTY OFFICER F. RINGHAM FROM THE OFFICERS AND SHIPS COMPANY OF H.M.S SALMON 31-3-36. Have tried hard to find out more about these silver boxes but just come to a dead end regards samantha. |

Firstly - congratulations on an excellent and informative site. Secondly - many thanks to Debbie Corner at the museum for her very prompt attention to an enquiry I made. Thirdly - I'd welcome any information regarding Stoker, 1st Class, William Keltie, R.F.R./Po/B.5405, or anything about his family or descendants. He was, along with the rest of the crew of submarine HMS E11, awarded the DSM in 1915 for service in the Sea of Marmora. |

Smudge, I've tried e mailing you but keep getting the message returned. Swiftsure '75 to '84. Made a break for it in '84 to Northwood and have been running since. Our paths may have crossed, I can't place the face but the name I remember because Smudge is so unusual. My Naval name was Bungy - again very unusual - or Paj. Ex LS(S)SM. |

Hi I'm Rayne and I'm doing a school project I'm bilding a submarine that can submerg and then amerg and your website really helped me out so I just wanted to say thank you alot!!! love Rayne-Anne |
| I would be very interested to hear from anyone who knew my brother, Able Seaman Bruce Douglas, from Coleraine, N. Ireland,who was a crew member of H.M.Submarine "Trident" in 1942 and 1943. He then joined H.M. Submarine "Sceptre" and took part in Operation Heckle, when the Sceptre towed the X24 to make a second attempt to destroy the U Boat dry dock in Bergen harbour in September 1944. This was a successful operation, but sadly Bruce was killed accidentally whist the Sceptre was waiting to take the X24 on tow off Norway. He sat up in his hammock to go on duty after resting, just as the hydraulic operating ram moved across the submarine at speed. He was buried at sea, and last year my husband and I, with the kind help of the Royal Norweian Navy, visited his burial place at sea. It would be really nice to hear from someone who had known him, as he had many very good friends, particularly on "Trident", whom the family never knew. |

Ex CCMEA, 1974 - 94, Orpheus, Opportune, Oppossum, Oracle etc etc! Remember when the museum was above the church in the bastion! Just a bunch of makeshift tables with bits and pieces lying around everywhere and 'Nigger' the dog becoming more moth bitten by the day! How times have changed.. Now working in operational management for the super yachts in the Med and Carib. Totally bored!! Am in the process of writing a book about my time in O boats. It would be great to hear from anyone who knows me to shed light on some of those 'senior moments' when I can't remember exactly what happened!! |

Well done to H.M. Royal Navy in the sucessful rescue of the Russian sub,Priz and her crew of seven submariners. How wonderfully "British" the modest comments of one of our Naval Commanders in saying "They were just doing their job". Excellent work lads !! |

I am 73 years old and remember very vividly the start of the invasion. Living in Rotterdam at that time and coming from school, my mother told me that the invasion had started. Overwhelmed with joy it took still a year and a winter of hunger to get liberated. Thanks to these brave men, we are living in a free country. |

| Went to the museum with my family and we had a fantastic day. The Submarine tour guide was brilliant, he really instilled a sense of being there and made you feel truly grateful for what men like him did during WW2. Ther rest of the attraction's were equally fascinating keeping all of us amused all day. It was a great day out and I recommend it to anyone. |

Very good and interesting site. It's a great pity that Guy D'Oyly-Hughes turned into such an obnoxious, pompous ,arrogant man when he was captain of HMS Glorious resulting in the loss of so many lives. he must have changed considerably from his days on the U-Boats. |

I live in Florida and am glad I have the opportunity to do so In the USA all Military personnel serving and veterans are treated with respect.

We should stand up for ourselves, and for once learn from our friends across the Pond God Bless the UK and USA |

I served on HMS/M's Spartan and Tireless during the 1980's as a WEM(R), left the mob in 1987. most would have known me as 'G.O'. Regards to all who remember me. I also post this with sad news of my father ex-WO/FCPO Berwyn 'Taff' Davies, who left the service in 1984, having been billeted in HMS Dolphin(with FOSM and the Submarine School), along with stints on HMS/M's Opossum and Dreadnought in the 60's and HMS/M Sovereign in the 70's. He passed away during the weekend of 25-25 June 2005. I welcome emails from those who remember me, but especially from those who remember my father. |

Hi. good website, A big Hi to all who I served with (Superb, Spartan, Sealion, Onyx, Otus), including Dickie Dawson (If you're the same Dickie Dawson (Ex UC1) that served with me (LROSM) and George Henshaw (LSSM) on Otus and you're currently working for the Canadian Gov't - do they know what they've let themselves in for??) If it is you, it's nice to see you are still surfacing occasionally. Also good to see that Dave Silburn is still alive & kicking, I think we served together in Superb. For anyone who's interested, I'm working for an oil company in West Africa and am enjoying life and spend a lot of my spare time on the golf course these days and not in the bars !! Yes, difficult to belive but true. Cheers for now, Barry |

Hi guys, I'm feeling a little nostalgic sitting in my study and surfin' all the submarine sites. I can't help but notice that the Yanks are claiming all the credit for the Cold War victory for themselves. Now we all know that's not true don't we. It would be nice if somebody put the record straight. Yeah like maybe in a hundred years time, when do the records get declassified, if ever! |
| May you all have a splendid year. Those of you still serving remember to check that the main vents are shut before you surface, not like Onslaught did in 1964 |
|

Back again for another visit after 3 long years. My father-in-law Ronald Leslie Roberts was in subs during WW2. Great guy but didn't talk about the war much.

Hello. He was here. |
|
Just looking for old oppo's, Scorcher, Cachalot, Tiptoe, Sea Devil, Oracle. |

Hi Tich Maloney Yes it is I who has got four of (not three) what you only have two. (thats got everybody thinking who reads this). I remember you well I thought it was St Thomas not St Kitts...still who cares I know that we all had a good P.U. I remember the St lucia trip and the working with the yanks in Puerto Rico... must have swapped nearly all the submarines food and equipment for their bomber jackets. remember the after ends rubber fund run by Tom Manning and Brigham Young Tom lives opposite me but sadly Brigham passed away. One of the chefs was Foxy Fowler who we buried on the beach in St Kitts. One of the sonar men was called gronk. Remember Snuffy Hibbert outsided wrecker,s mate ...one of his duties was looking after the sh.... tank. Remember the day he blew it and the skipper was sitting on the throne. The bunting tosser was McCullum and the other sparker was Ben truman (also lives in Paignton) along with puffer Panting. The chief tiffy was a guy who looked 100 years old do not know his name (but knew his stuff). Nice run ashore in Bermuda on our way home. I think the RS's name was Mick Godly. Well that is enough from me...once again it is very nice to hear from 'Old Ships' brings back some wonderful memories. All the best Taff Bevan |

Hi The trek to Nepal is now a thing of the past. We were not able to trek in the Everest region of Nepal due to Maoist activity. The roads were mined & we did not have the medical capcity to cope with casualties. we had a vote as to continue with the trek the result was to continue as we did not want to let down our sponsors, It was decidedto trek in the other direction to the Annapurna region but this would again involve a 9 hour bus ride which could get us into trouble, to avoide any such trouble it was decided to fly from Kathmandu to Phokara then a short drive to Phedi passing through many Army road blocks to the start point. Then a three to four hour climb to our first camp site (altitude 1,500 meters). In the morning we wake to see a great view of the fishtail peak of Machhapuchhare. Here we leave the tourist trail to trek through forests following a trail along a ridge of hills, gaining hight all the time, our next camp was in a small clearing (altitude 2,100 meters). Next day we climb through thinning forests with occasional glimpses of mountains towering above us & looking down the Mardi Khola river thousands of feet below. We reach low camp (altitude 3,000 meters) for lunch. In the afternoon climb another 300 Meters then back down to low camp to spend the nightthis was to prepare the body for the altitude we were to climb to the following day. the following daya short climb takes us out of the forest, we follow the ridge to our high camp, we were now well into the snow. (altitude 3,600 meters) we pitched our tents on about 2ft of snow,that night it was three to a two man tent to keep warm,the temp dropped to about -20, we turned in fully booted and spured, bit like the forends.The following day we had intended to climb to over 4,000Meters but the weather was bad and we were in thick cloud it would have been foolhardy to carry on but we had achived our goal. We returned to low camp as several were suffering from altitude sickness.we spent another night at low camp. Next day we descend more than 2,000metersthrough forest, bush and terraced fields to the river valley & our final camp. Next day we walk through the Mardi Khola Valley passing quiet Nepalese settlements to our finish point. & a bus ride to Phokara for an overnight stay. Next day we fly back to Kathmandu (the flight back never went above 10,000ft which was not as high as we had climbed) My thanks to everyone who sponsored me. Helping to raise much needed funds for SSAFA Forces Help. If you have not sponsored me yet now is your chance take a look at my home page. Thank you. |

In the afternoon climb another 300 Meters then back down to low camp to spend the nightthis was to prepare the body for the altitude we were to climb to the following day. the following daya short climb takes us out of the forest, we follow the ridge to our high camp, we were now well into the snow. (altitude 3,600 meters) we pitched our tents on about 2ft of snow,that night it was three to a two man tent to keep warm,the temp dropped to about -20, we turned in fully booted and spured, bit like the forends.The following day we had intended to climb to over 4,000Meters but the weather was bad and we were in thick cloud it would have been foolhardy to carry on but we had achived our goal. We returned to low camp as several were suffering from altitude sickness.we spent another night at low camp. Next day we descend more than 2,000metersthrough forest, bush and terraced fields to the river valley & our final camp. Next day we walk through the Mardi Khola Valley passing quiet Nepalese settlements to our finish point. & a bus ride to Phokara for an overnight stay. Next day we fly back to Kathmandu (the flight back never went above 10,000ft which was not as high as we had climbed) My thanks to everyone who sponsored me.

| I don't disagree with our efforts in foreign policy and back the use of force when done properly, as we did for the Gulf War. While politicians do make difficult decisions, they come when advised by top military generals and brass.

I made a journey down from London today to do some research on world war 2 subs. I am involved with a theatre production about events surrounding the sinking of the HMS Thetis in 1938. After checking the website I was excited about the historical exhibitions containing original uniforms and other items. I was disappointed to find when i arrived that the exhibition I had come to see was closed until August due to buildng work in the exhibition hall. I was also unable to tour the large submarine as it was closed. I would encourage you to make these long-term closures much more evident on your webside in order to avoid more wasted journeys. Sincerely Michael Breakey |
| back for 1 good all round look.regards to all. |
| Visited Museum a couple of days ago and would be interested in visiting again when the building work on the historical section is completed. |
| Nice to have visited your site Happy new year! |

| A relative and good friend of mine are both ex submariners so I decided to visit the museum to get an idea of life on board a submarine. It was one of the most interesting, fascinating and enjoyable days I have ever had. As I come from a family that have a long history of serving in the Navy, I really wish that I had joined, although I know I would never be able to serve on a submarine yet I would love to. Keep up the good work and I hope to visit again in the not too distant future. |
| This is Peter Butterworth, ex submariner, now living in Las Cruces New Mexico, USA. My last boat was HM/Sm Tiptoe. I would really like to hear from any old shipmates who read this and would like to wish everyone the happiest of Christmases and New Year. Let's hope it is better than 2004 has been. |

It is with great sadness I report the news of the death of Maggie Rutherford.I heard of it at the re-union and actually read it in Navy News.Maggie was one of the great characters of "Boats".He was the one who had the fish tank installed on Renown.I had the pleasure of doing 4 patrols with him.I hope its not true and Maggie has just won the lottery and has reported it himself.

Dear Sir Very happy to find your excellent web site, I really did expect to find some evidence of submarine service past, and I haven't viewed most of yet, I have run out time for to-day, but then there is always the possibility of a good conversation with Bertie Phillips who lives nearby, you must know or know of this fellow a submariner of long service, now living in Canada, no sand under his feet.

I've sent an e-mail research request direct to Mr. Head of the Archives Working Group. As a Canadian Naval Reserve long "tas" specialist, I decided in the mid '60's the way to learn to hunt S/M was to live in one. So served in HM S/M ASTUTE of 6th Sqn. at Halifax, under LCdr Ringrose-Vose - a great submariner, with Tod Slaughter as his X.O. I then served as well in the Canadian HMC S/M RAINBOW, (ex-USN) for a few weeks. Learned a lot!! Visited S/M Museum at Gosport about 1995 - just as your original A boat was being refitted. A first class site. BRAVO ZULU! |
|
Up for an ASS, one all round. Wally Walton and PAJ Williams, did you receive my e-mail as I've not had any reply. Going deep, see ya on the next routine. |

Hiya fellow Deeps Just popped in to have a look around; nice site. I've put up a site dedicated to diesel submariners, you can find it at www.dieselweasel.co.uk. I was prompted to do the site after a conversation at last year's Diesel Submariners' Reunion. If you've not been to the reunion, it's a bit like a living exhibition from the Submarine Museum...with beer! |
| Hope to visit your museum when next in the area. |
| Superb website and a great museum. |
| Good resource for information on the museum, looking forward to taking the family on a visit. |
| Great site,served from 55-63'in e/room and from then as outside wrecker mate Thermopylae & Selene about the time Sidon went down alongside depot ship Maidstone. Then did acouple of 'mystery tours under Captain (Wild) Bill Roak. Then SS Otranto to s/m 4 Thorough, Aurochs.back home on Turpin Grampus Porpoise and back to s/m 4 on Tabard. getting on now '69' very mixed memories |
| Just to say hi. Served on Several boats based in Gosport. Left the service in 81 miss it like crazy. Would do it all again if I had the chance. |
|
Hi Lads Great to get some emails off some old shipmate. Am i the only one still pushing these around? |
|
Going to the submarine Museum have made me understand so many.things ,i did not understand.I always believed Man would live in water , ie breathe in water without oxygen tanks.With the machines made mention in the museum that can breakdown water into hydrogen and oxygen.it is going to work. Watch out for the mindblowing invention. |
|
I had been meaning to visit the museum for some time, and finally made it today. Having worked at Rugby and Criggion VLF radio stations I was keen to see what happened at the "receiving end" of our transmissions. The exhibits are first-class, and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides allow a glimpse into the reality of life aboard. I came away with a deep sense of respect and awe for submariners and their achievements over the years. I shall visit again soon, to learn more about these fascinating craft and their crews. Many thanks. |
| hope to visit the museum soon |
| Dolphin gone!Fort Blockhouse soon to become luxury flats? Stick a 'fish in the base of the Spinnaker tower,that'll give Gosport it's bridge and save money.Thanks for an exellent museum and a great site, and all the hard work with both. |

My husband I visited the museum in 1997 in search of information on my great uncle, everyone was very helpful. Would love to find someone who actually knew Commander T. J. Parkinson but as he served in WWI I doubt that is a possibility. Your website is great |

| I had served on several U.S. submarines from 1958 until my retirement in 1974 |
| I visisted this site while researching HMS THORN a T Class Submarine which was attacked in the Mediteranian Sea on 6th August 1942 and lost with all hands. My grandmothers youngest brother., Leading Stoker Robert (Bob) Reeson was serving on the submarine at the time. It was the families greatest wish to lay a plaque on the wreck and hold a small memorial service in his and his shipmates memory. Now as a Diving Instructor, I wish to locate the wreck and seek permission from the war graves commission to carry out the wishes of his remaining immediate family. Any one with any information relating to this wreck,please get in touch with me as time is fast disappearing for his brothers and sister to see this memeorial service in their life time. Contact [email protected] |

Having spent nearly eleven years in Boats, It was a pleasant journey back to Dolphin through the wounder,s the internet. It has made up my mind, that I must pay a visit to the Museum, before I go down the creek and over the bar, so here,s to next year, when!, I hope to make a nostalgic return to Dolphin. "Two things which cannot be bought, time and friendship enjoy them both". The company of Submariner's is is just so. |

My partner has inherited the service medals of her grandfather William Patterson who was killed on a WWII RN submarine. We do not know yet what sub this was. We wondered if there is anyone alive who knew him? His son, also William Patterson, served in the RN in the 1950's and 60's. He has since passed away, and there are no surviving family who know about William Patterson senior. |
|
We are very grateful that this important part of our history is being preserved and passed on. |
|
Was on a submarine once !! Captain Nemo's in Florida. It was at Walt Disney World. We dived to 10 feet. Exciting and exhilarating. (probably better than the real thing) knowing that we were coming up without a hitch. Still rather have Aircraft Carriers any time !! Cafeteria, Laundry, Naafi, plus we had eccles cakes every other day, showers too (every day) You submariners must have been an awfully un-hygenic lot...... just kidding Terry "Stacks" Heaps |
| Just a quick check for familiar names, I hope all you ex diesel fiends are doing well rl |
|
I have a song about John Phillip Holland the submarine inventor on CD. it sung by Micko Russell who is (was)a tradidional musician from Co. Clare. I hope to visit the museum soon, v good web site |

It was agood step taken by the ROYAL NAVY to conserve the vintage subs&its; equipment and keep them for public display.The people who have the thirst for knowledge it is the right place to come |

I have just finished reading John Parker's "The Silent Service." He had the presence of mind to enter in his appendix your website, together with a few others too. But yours was the main one, and I have found it very enlightening with the information that it cotained. Best of good fortune for the future as the "Silent Service" is one that done much to defend humanity from oppression with little acknowledgement. James Barratt |
| FAO JJ TALL ex churchill.Nice to see you on the T V.! Jan |

The only time I ever had the chance to go aboard a submarine was at the Coronation Fleet Review in 1953. I chickened out - I was only five years old at the time and the dark hole with the smell of deisel frightened the life out of me. I should have gone aboard. Thanks for the chance to catch up, even in a small way. |
|

| I have just had my evenings football viewing interrupted while having to delete four juvenile messages from the guestbook. A short reminder (should the culprits return) that all the entries in the guestbook are fully logged and traceable. I can't be bothered in this case, but I am sure that there is a certain County Council who would be very interested in how their IT resources are being used. |

| took a virtual tour of the museum which was enough to make us decide to come and visit as soon as we can . |
| Going to Sydney NSW in August 2004 for conference, any old shipmate who knows me fancy a drink? |
|
Is there any truth to the rumour that submariners didn't shower every day, and that sometimes it would be two days getting into the shower.. How vexatious. Also heard that the cafeteria on board these beastly little subs only had one choice of dessert, take it or leave it !! How on earth did you keep your ice cream chilled. Give me Carriers every time Nice site Cheers Terry. |

| Hi guys, i was just surfin some websites that my friend from England had been on. This one came up, i think she is doing college work or something on it. I'd love to come and see the museum, i will phone up next time i'm in that area. I am organising to take local orfans out in to the community, this museum would be a good place for them to learn about their country, aswell as having a fun day out. Hope to see y'all soon. Britney x |
| Hi its me, i think your museum needs more publicity. I would be happy to help you out with that. Fun adverts are needed to promote the museum, it needs to be open to more audiences. From Deana xXx |

Just surfing and found your site. I was a guest aboard HMS Warspite in October 74 (anchored of Kurachi, Pakistan) as an Senior SONAR Technician Chief (SS) and a crew member of USS Plunger, SSN-595. The senior petty officers were invited below as the Warspite hosted a terrific get together. Both the Warspite and Plunger crews totally diminished the liquid refreshments and it took the commandeering of the USS Berkely's (a destroyer's whale boat sent to retrieve the Plunger's over due senior Petty officers) to make a speed run to HMS Eagle to replenish the stout. We all had a laugh when they coaxed the coxian and boat engineer below, then set sail for Eagle. In the process, they hoisted the Union Jack on the whale boat. My memory fades a little at this point but I do remember getting lowered down the side of Warspite attached to a snubber and into one of the Ranger's launches. Seems that the flag on USS Ranger wanted to sortie and Plunger didn't have enough personnel to man the maneauvering watch stations. Anyway, a great memory of the visit and a good time was had by all and ... later when passing in review, everyone gasped a little when Warspite dipped the "Jolly Roger" as she passed the reviewing station on Ranger. The Warspite and her crew will always be held in highest regard and was truely a great ship with a great crew! |
| Forming family tree ,searching for cousin lost in H M Sub: Tetrarch,1941,I came across your great guestbook,I served as a seaman 1946/56,did 4 days trials in H M Sub: Ambush,1950,Submarine service not for me thank you !! Good luck to all our BRAVE Submariners, JWW,ex RN . |

Cleared stern arcs, Up to PD, all round look and found myself walking through the old car club( Dolphin two)as I paid my first visit to museum since leaving in '91. Strange to see Squaddies and lumpy jumpers roamin round Dolphin. Jetty is in a poor state tho'. Only one crane left and it looked like an ostrich with its head in the sand. Petrol Pier still in use for the TS Royalist. The RA (8p a pint Bulmers old diesel Scrumpy back in '77)is still there along with the G&D.; Time to go back in for that underwater look. Depth 82 ft. See Ya. |

My son ,who is seven, has been asked to do a school project on submarines,so we entered this site hoping to print off some information for him to work through. Unfortunately, we could not print anything off from this site for him and it would take him a long time to write down all of the information he wanted.Great site though. |

Unfortunately I couldn�t visit to your museum so far. This is an excellent Website, outlining a fabulous historic Submarine Service. I found your web page fascinating, as current Commander of Turkish Submarine Fleet. Thank you for the informative and thoroughly researched web site - which I visited on purpose for having an idea how to make one of our old submarine as a museum submarine. All the best to all RN Submariners and Museum Manager and workers. Rear Admiral A. Can ERENOGLU Commander of Turkish Submarine Fleet |

I have just visited the site and looked at ditties on boats for the first time in more than a decade. It came as a suprise to see that the old comrades association is no longer although it was always on the cards that a change was in the offing. I was on the sovereign in the mid 70's and was a member of the association in bristol and then north staffs, but what with one thing and another i seem to have lost touch. After reading about the museum i just might have a look at re-joining. Thanks for the tour of the boats on the site i will have another look again one day yours aye jonah |

I've been there a half a year ago. Liked it a lot, especialy the old servicemen who explained how it's working on a sub. I've served in the Royal Dutch Navy on a frigat, so i can't talk about the things that happened on a sub. (altough i realy should like it) But things turned diverend back then.Although the whole museum is like a kind of mekka for the sub-lovers, there was not one thing i did dislike about your museum. Keep the good work going! aND I Will sure be back sometime! Greetings........ |
| Hi there..i'm really interested to join the submarine service. The Royal Malaysian Navy will be having it's own submarine by year 2007, and i'm looking foward to join the submarine crew. My intention is, if there is any submarine officer who can share with me your idea or thought about submarine life, please do mail me on my email adress. [email protected] Thanks.. |

| Ich m�chte den marinehistorisch interessierten Lesern mitteilen, dass im September 2003 das von mir verfasste Buch "U-Boot-Jagd im Mittelmeer - Der Einsatz der 22. U-Jagdflottille" (Submarine hunting in the Mediterranean - the Story of the 22. Anti Submarine Flotilla) erschienen ist (Mittler Verlag, Hamburg, ISBN 3-8132-0801-X). Dieses Buch berichtet vom Kampf deutscher U-Boot-J�ger gegen britische U-Boote der 1., 8. und 10. U-Boot-Flottille. Es erz�hlt u.a. vom Verlust der HMS TIGRIS durch UJ 2210 am 27.02.1943 und HMS USURPER, welches wahrscheinlich am 04.10.1943 (nicht 03.10.1943!) durch UJ 2208 verloren ging. Von Interesse ist sicherlich auch die Aussage, dass HMS THUNDERBOLT und HMS TURBULENT von U-Boot-J�gern der 22. U-Jagdflottille vernichtet worden sein k�nnten. |

Hi, I came to the museum with a friend of mine on a cold Sunday morning about four weeks ago and I've been meaning to drop you a line ever since, to say how much we enjoyed the visit. I probably take a look around four or five museums each year, but yours was the most accessible and friendly that I can remember. We arrived a little early; you weren't yet open and we having a look around the various "exhibits", props and the like, that were in the car park. The lady, who we later learned was staffing the Weapons Exhibit, arrived shortly, asked if she could help and made us feel very welcome. The tour around the Alliance was a real highlight. To be shown around a submarine by someone who had actually served on subs of the era was a real bonus. It is one thing to know the details and history of the hardware, but he also did a fantastic job of conjuring up the atmosphere of a serving boat. I�m afraid we kept the poor chap talking for some time after the tour had officially finished. We also much enjoyed the Holland. It was great to actually be able to get on board such a piece of history and get some feeling of how claustrophobic it must have been. Each of the other exhibits was also fascinating and the openness of much of it particularly impressed me. To be able to actually run your hand along a Polaris, to be able to peer directly into a midget sub makes the experience so much better than just peering at things in glass cabinets. Many thanks, Paul Davis |
| Just doing a quick sweep and wish all a merry chrimbo and all that goes with it. Sue is still reliving the Churchill reunion of last year.

| I have an interest in the museum as they helped me considerably to find out some information about my Grandfather John William ThompsonK15794 who served on submarines from 1912 to 1925, it has now made me so interestd i am now going to find out about the actual submarines. I would love to hear from anyone who knows about the J and K class ones inparticular |
| alan Clare (Australia). Re the monkey,,, I was on Tactician 53-56 we went into Singapore Dockyard end of 53 for 9 month refit. The monkey whose name was peggy (it had no tail) had an official draft chit to go from the boat which had finished the refit to the next one arriving ,that was us . When we finished refitting she was drafted to the Telemachus (I think) or Thorough . Anyway she did end her days on the motor room switch board. I spent my 21st Birthday drunk as a skunk with peggy whom I'm sure was an alcholic . Always hanging round the rum tub. Have a couple of photographs of her and Pat Nash killick seaman who looked after her |

Thought it might be a good idea to try and contact old shipmates from Reso (port) crew 71-73 USA missile firing trip esp Kevin (Spider) Webb MEM1 or any one who knows of his whereabouts.Hoping to visit the museum later this year!Anyone who remembers me can contact me on [email protected] |
| Have just discovered this website, during research into obsolete and present-day RN and nautical slang. I haven't seen everything, but shall be back. Thank you. |
| ORIGINAL SUBMARINERS FORGOTTEN. The names of most pre 1914 original RN submarine ratings have been lost. Only the names of the original officers and those ratings who were involved in accidents or who died in the submarines before 1914 are known. Several collagues are trying to resurrect the names of those forgotten. If you know of any of the pre 1914 pioneer submariners who survived serving on those submarines please contact us, or the research personnel at the Submarine Museum and let us know his name and any other related information. Thank you. Dave Campbell Ottawa CANADA |

| Hi Just in for quick check report. |
| really good site, my dad was in the navy and served on 13 different subs & ships. I'll be telling him about this site. |
|
Hope to visit again in December 2003. Ex-submariner (ERA) 1944-1954. |
|
This is a great site....well done. i'm a former u.s. sub vet with some great memories of a visit we had with the HMS Swiftsure gang in the late 70's.. |
| This is a brilliant web site. I visited to check where the Holland 1 sank. As I thought, the book I was reading was wrong.It stated that the position was in the Solent. I did not think so, and this was easily checked on your great site. I only live 5 miles away and will be visting the museum again soon. |
| I am a grand-daughter of E55 Telegraphist - Geo.Wm.Rayner, Chatham No. J19982 - found info.on Watercolour Sketch in Collections, No. 2001.1602.1, 'E' Class Sub.and wondered if there was a copy of this and what would be the cost. |
| just up for an all round look and check reportWhen are you going to add Gib to where you come from |
|
An excellent web site. I visited the museum yesterday and was most impressed. The guided tour of the T Class submarine was extremely good. Our submariner guide obviously enjoyed his work and relished telling us about the hardships. I would recommend this tour to anyone (unless they are claustophobic!) The simulated depth charge attack was very atmospheric! |

I entered the website seeking information on Chief Petty Officer 'Ginger' Warr, formerly of HMS/M SNAPPER (1940); I hope to be able to research at the Museum his history and the award of his DSM. The research is on behalf of his Maltese son ( my brother-in-law) Roland Horatio Warr. signed Brian Crook, Wg Cdr RAF (ret'd) |

A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting website. It's very obvious that much effort has gone into its creation. I plan on accessing your website often in the future. From one International Submarine Brother to another, keep up that great effort on your Royal Navy Submarine Museum.

Some few years ago I traveled by train from London just to see your Submarine Museum. I spent an entire day in Portsmouth and during that time I went aboard the HMS Alliance and toured the museum as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and need to return again. I have always been fascinated by submarines of all countries and go aboard one whenever I can. Incidentally I never served in the Navy but the Army but even so I am a docent aboard the Battleship New Jersey now a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey, USA across the Delware River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am also an amateur radio operator, a ham, and a member of the ship's radio club whose call is NJ2BB. Looking forward to my next visit. |

I have just taken your virtual tour , and it has brought back so many memories Iwas a boilermaker at chatham dockyard were I also done my time . I started on subs at battery corner in 1967 and finished up at the nuclear base at chatham on the reactor gang for hms warspite /valiant but enjoyed my best times building the diesal /electric subs for canada and australia . I visited chatham back in 1995 and sad to see that the main yard has gone , but also pleased to see that the top end has been kept as a muiseum, where i was proud to show my son the sub that was there but at that time it was not open to the puplic Australia also has one of the sub,s that i was working on her name escapes me for the moment , Thanks for the memories ex dockyard matey and pom |

Hi to everyone, Upon my recent return to the UK, I had the privelidge to join and visit the Dolphin Branch of the Submarine Association. I would like to thank the 'Bear' and my old 'Boss' Jeff Tall for making this the highlight of my time in the UK. Now back in India, I have alredy booked my return flight in order to attend the reunion in 'Gus' early October. It was great to meet up once again with my old buddy 'Leslie Arthur Smith'. If any of you 'Old Scrotes' have been thinking about joining the association I recommend that you do it. All the very best to you all and look forward to seeing you again in October. Best regards Pony Moore. |
| keep up the good work excellent web site |
| Visited the museum 10 years ago or more to find out more about my grandfather George who served on E9 in the Baltic. My busy life has stopped me from following this up but I'm pleased to see that the museum is still going strong! I'm sure that developing your presence on the internet will be a great asset to those who want to find out more about their submariner ancestors. I will visit again. |
|
Would love to hear from ex-shipmates from HMS/M Dreadnought, HMS/M Swiftsure & HMS/M Torbay. I retired in 1994 after the best 22 years of my life. PS - Anyone out there know the whereabouts of Paul Branscombe - Ex Captain of Swiftsure - THE BEST S/M CAPTAIN EVER ! |

Just a follow up as My brother served on HM Thunderbolt from she was re-commissioned from Thetis until she was lost and presumed depth charged and sunk by the Italian Navy and then later information I received that it was the German Navy who actually sunk her, probably after the Italian Navy damaged her.They are reports from both Italian and German Navy to confirm this, I sent both reports to the Royal Navy Submarine Dept. |

My dad John Kerr served in Submarines in WW11. He only ever talked about the good times and the great mates he had in the service. He never really talked about the details of his service,the ships he served on,where he served or maybe as a child I never asked. My dad died a few years ago and it is only now that I have started to look into his naval service. To all of you are serving now- tell your kids now its too late when you are gone. |

Dear sirs, I visited your museum in 2002 July. It is a very well organised museum with visual and interactive activities and I also find many objects familiar to me regardind the 1. world war in your show cases. These objects were hauled during the war from turkish ships; a few compasses, rifles, guns, etc. Some imformation you give about the war, battlefields and the items hauled does not reflect the truth but the tour was quite satisfactory. I request you to correct the mistakes in the information given about the war in the show cases. Thank you in advance. |

This site is a treasure-chest of information! It is getting better and better each time I visit - well done and keep up the marvellous work. I am researching information on the type of 4in gun that was used on the submarine HMs/m Tempest during WW2. I know it was a Mk12 but wondered who actually made them? I am also researching about life in a POW camp, especially the Italian run camps of Campo 65 and Campo 75 around 1942 / 43 - if anyone could put provide any details for me I would be most grateful. Thanks - I shall be back for another visit to the Museum hopefully next year, especially after my initial visit last year aboard HMs/m Alliance - brilliant! |

| Dear Sir: I really enjoyed your information about submarines. I was fortunate to have served on several US Naval submarines from 1960 thru the 1970's. I am pleased that Britian and the US were able to help each other in development training of both the crews and submarine technology. I served on FBM submarines out of Holy Loch, Scotland the entire time I was aboard submarines. I want to tell you that the Scots were the most hospitable and courteous people that I have ever been fortunate to meet. They were always happy and glad to see us. I hope that they had the same impession of us yanks. I hope we did not ruin the beautiful loch at Holy Loch but I'm afraid the we may have out of ignorance on our part. Could you please let me know if we caused any damage to the harbour in our discharge of nuclear wastes. Thank you very much. K.Dean Willeford |

| A great website and a credit to the Submarine Service, and also a great help for guys like me on a nostalgia trip. A message from Duncan Laing to anyone who had served on HM S/M Oracle between 1986 and 1990 and who may remember me. Although I remember a lot of the 103 club guys there were a lot more of you that I knew but time has served to dim the memory, and it would be great to hear from anyone that knew me. I was also looking to trace a photo of the crew taken after the Rosyth refit in the late 80s and if there is a re commissioning brochure that was produced at the time, still kicking about as I have lost my own copy. All the very best to everyone who has taken the time to visit this excellent website. |

Your site is more impressive and maybe on my next visit I will get to the museum. May 2002 was my first visit to Englanf. Thank you, Sherry B. Hanson |

I have visited the museum twice, in 1999 and in June this year 2002 and I hope to come again. I had a good friend CDR "Teddy" Woodward DSC ** who served in UNBEATEN in WW2 in the days when petrol was carried to Malta in submarines. As I understand it he was the originator of the "Perisher" course for s/m Commanders and this is something which perhaps should be the subject of some research.Sadly Teddy died about 4 years ago here in Adelaide in Australia. |
| Keep the good work.SA member Barrow-in-Furness branch,served on HMS Renown(stbd)as LWEM(O) 1977-82.The 1st LT was a certain LT.CDR J.J.Tall.Best wishes. |

I was surfing the NET and arrived here, what a great site. I served in boats from 1955 to 1966 Seraph, Excalibur, Astute, Scorcher, Walrus, Alcide. My most memorable CO was Lt. "Topsy" Turner captain of the Seraph (P219) I often wondered what happened to him. One day, God willing I will get over to Gosport and visit your or should I say our museum |
|
I served in subs SM10 1980 - 85 Churchill, Renown (P) and Fleeting visit to Conqueror. P.O. Doc any of my old victims out there? |
| Nice to see the updates. Sad to see familier parts from one of my boats. While on the Island of Terschelling I saw they have the conning tower from an E class from the litrature it seemed like a war grave? I hope to get back to Gosport and show my fiancee what it means to have been in subs. |
|
Just would to hello to anybody that remembers me from Repulse, Renown or Turbulent Many happy times!!!!! |

I have had fun searching the site, my fave part would have to be the Virtual Submarine experience, I close my eyes and picture myself on board a submarine. I have been on quite a few submarines and I looked forward to continue to surf this site some more |

Hi there I have enjoyed your site and the many other submarine sites on the net. Particularly like the pics of Conquerors one man control system that I spent many an hour behind, even indulging in a bit of "channel fever"on one trip home, surfaced of course. Served in Conqeror in '73 '74. Wished I had spent all my time in boats, really loved it. For your data base I was the REM and official No is P/107606 and served in billet sys. 33 on Conq.

|
I served on the RN for 9 years. 2 Years on surface fleet and 7 years on diesels HMS SEALION/HMS ORACLE |

Visited the Museum with my son a number of years ago and it brought back great memories. Found a few names that I served with in the guest book. Served in boats during the 60's. When I completed my Submarine training I was drafted to Propoise which was in the Floating Dock at the Dockyard I lasted one day on this. The next day goung to the peir head to get the boat to the dockyard a man with these gold rings on his arm invited me on board the Grampus after asking what I was the next I heard was let go forward let go aft. I then went for a pleasant trip on the Grampus (16 weeks Hush Hush Trips) Taciturn (SM4) Australia brought her back to UK as a surface raider. Tiptoe (SM1) Local running Finished my time at SMU Fort Blockhouse the little hut on the peir. |

An excellent site, as I am a warship freak particularly if they are British. Cheers, Skippy (Ex Guzz Shipwright.) |

Just checking around for info on my father who was an acting petty officer on HMS Tigress.He earned the Oak Leaf due to being mentioned in dispatches I'm led to believe. His name I know is in the book of rememberence in the Chapel at HMS Dolphin. |
| i lived in gosport from 1969 to 1971 and served on hms hermes in the same period. hope to see you in the summer holidays when i shall be bringing my son to portsmouth. |

I think the submarine service over the last two world wars was undoubtly the bravest and highly effecient of all the services, and I am proud that my father served throuhout world war 1 with this great band of men. |

Does anyone know, if a british or french submarine, which patrolled in the mediterranean sea, Gulf of Genova, italian Riviera, was attacked / depthcharged on 03.february 1944 near Rapallo, 18/19. april 1944 and 27.april 1944 in area Rapallo/Sestri Levante? German submarine hunters claimed to have sunk an submarine on these days. The Naval Staff Histories says that british submarines patrolled only at the southern coast of france, not at italian coast /italian Riviera. Any information is wellcome. Sorry for my bad english!

Served in SSK from '75 - '87.SPO- inboard ( dont do flunobs)Escape Cox'n in Guzz until I left in 97. Now working on Cruise ships. Miss eating me duff from a cup!! All the best to those who know me |
| Very interesting, full of interest |
| Visited the museum last Monday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. |
| I have read with interest the many guestbook entries. My late father-in-law whom unfortunately I was not destined to meet was a Yoeman Signaller in submarines during WW2. His name was Euros Bowen Jones from Treorchy in Wales. He went down on the submarine USK off Cape Bon, Tunisia in 1941. I now live in Australia. Ironically his son, my late husband David Ivor Jones who joined the Australian Army after serving many years with the British Army also took the brunt of War. He died a few years ago from injuries and illness he occasioned through serving in the Vietnam War. The submariners museum has been extremely helpful in finding information for my regarding Euros Bowen JONES. It is unlikely that anybody out there would remember him but if anyone has heard of the name I would be grateful for any information. Best wishes and God Bless to you all. Betty Jones in a not so very warm Australia at the moment. |
| You have a great virtual museum, and as former submariner, I was fascinated with the historic pictures. I had several chances to meet submariners from the Royal Navy during my seven years in the United States Navy Submrine Service. Sincerly, Michael J. Edge SK1(SS) |
| Thank you for agreat site. I hope one day to be able to visit |

I'm trying to find any old,old submariners who may have served with my dad, ERIC POGSON, who was in boats from 1933- 1945 when demobbed after 20 years service. His boats were H28, Proteus, Rainbow and L23,prior to 1940, then Clyde, United, Stubborn and finally Tuna in '44-45. Dad was an A.B. Gun-layer/wardroom cook and steward, who enjoyed gin and dropped his badges for it once or twice when Lt.Cmd David Ingram took a dim view of the evaporation of the wardroom gin. In later life he worked with The Board of Trade,(he always could wangle a cushy number), then on migrating to Australia in 1948, worked at Garden Island Dockyard in Sydney till retiring in 1975. He died in 1985 just three months after mum. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who might remember him. Also my uncle Oscar Ralph Davey, another long time sailor who joined the boats in 1943, served on Sealion, L23 and Telemaccus, the last one went to Fremantle Western Australia in 1944. Ralph was a real talent on the piano and thus was never short of a drink. He left the RN in 1946, didn't handle civvies real well and rejoined, this time with the RAN in 1948, being dicharged with medical problems in about 1955. This is a great website which I have found to be most valueable and Debbie the Photo Ladyhas helped a treat. Many, Many Thanks Geoff Pogson e-mail [email protected] |

Hi, I,m a serving RN photographer at present serving with the Royal Marines. My grandfather " Edgar Lewis " served as a submariner for a great many years, the main submarine I remember him being on was HMS Porpoise, he left prior to the boats sinking in the Pacific. He finished his time at Dolphin where I understand he was a torpedo instructor or something similar. If anyone can remember serving alongside him I would very much like to hear from you.

Looking for infromation on the HMS Resolution. I have a few pictures of the ship and a crew member raising the colors in morning ceremony. I was assigned to the USS Ethan Allen SSBN608 while both ships were loading out Polaris Missiles in Charleston South Carolina. The two pictures I have had been slightly damaged over the years from 1968 but with todays photo editing I was able to patch them up. Ron Gontarz |

hello, i am a modeler of submarines and am currently trying to find a model of the British X-craft. it seems that this great little sub has been forgotten by the modeling world, i have scratch built other models ,but the x-craft would be my greatest project to date. Hopefully i can find a set of plans to complete by project. Your Museum sounds like a great place, hope some day i will be able to vist respectfully sam chaloupka |

Re visiting, looking to open up the upper lid to have a breath of fresh air after this long civillian stint. Its great to remenisce and to feel part of that rather exclusive Diesel Club. To all submariners of that generation,keep away from Blockhouse,its a sad sight,but life goes on !!! But memories of that era never fade. I still constantly report "position,depth and speed", but I do get out of breath these days. Dusty Miller ex-CHREL...Thermopalea,Onslaught,Dolphin School,DNR Admiralty..left in 1974. |

Today, 28th March, 2002, I, along with many, many friends attended the funeral of Ronald Luke Young, Ex-submariner, Hostilities Only (WWII), who died in Thursday 21st March. Although we knew Ron for many years none of us could elicit too much about his service career. what we do know is that he served on an S-boat(s) and at one stage was adrift in a dinghy for 10 days along with about 10 others, but only 3 survived. Those looking after his affairs have been unable to find his discharge documents or his medals. If anyone out there recognises Ron and can shed some light on his submarine career I would be pleased to pass it on. Other sketchy details are that he served in the Med, West Indies, USA and the Indian Ocean (he often mentioned that his boat put into the Seychelles). Ron was born on 21st December, 1922. After leaving the Navy he carried on the familiy "Snob" business in Kilburn and for the last 25 years on so lived in Prestwood, Buckinghamshire, where he was a leading light in the local crib leagues!! John Hughes, Ex-Leading Telegraphist, 1954-1963. |
| The museam seems most interesting, and I look forward to visiting sometime this year. |

|
My father was in the Service from 1943-65. Not all on subs, but a good deal of the time. I know he was on Tapir and Ocelot for a fact and spent much of the mid 1950s based in Malta (my brother was born there). He left the service as a CERA (I know your engineering branch cards went in the skip!). Any recollections of him - Gordon (Vic) Woodman? Not dead yet, just never ventures to periscope depth! |
| Nice job Bear |
|
Once the sea has got a hold of you she never lets go, it is indeed important for future generations to learn about nautical and naval history. It is even more important for sailors of the world to maintain the brotherhood which they share. Thank you for a wonderful site. Yours Aye J.

I am currently writing a book, mainly from a yachtsman's point of view about the waters of Wight. I seem to remember that an R.N submarine was trapped near to Bembridge on the Isle of Wight sometime in the 50s.

Could you please suggest a website that might provide information on the Coronation Naval Review of May 1937? (My father was a surveyor Lt. Cmdr. RN at the time, and he laid most of the buoys in the Solent from a steam pinnace. As we lived at Alverstoke with a view of The Solent, we were able to sail our little dinghy around the world's most magnificent ships just prior to the Review, a cherised memory indeed.) In particular, a list or plan of the positions of the ships involved is really what I'm after. |
|
I am an ex serviceman serving in both Roayal Air Force and Army as was double baged. Thank you for a most interesting page. |
| As always a great site, message to "Taff Greenway" received your E-Mail but due to computer problems have lost your E-Mail address |
|
Good to see the Museum's site providing such a good gateway to submarine-related affairs and people. The shop mailorder catalogue is good, too, for helping "supporters" who can't get to the Museum to get their books, brooches and baggage. Great to see it all going forward. Regards, Fabian |

Just found the site and browsing for old comrades Narwhal 1975-76 Superb 1978-87 Defiance QA 1987-89 Splendid 1989-91 |

Thank you for your website! I considered your database as major information for my new sci-fi book "TIMESHIP: The Pilgrimage." I want to thank you and leave in your guestbook the little passage that your workers helped me clarify. Here it is: "That was the best photograph of his grandfather's youth. It captured a moment upon his return from the Great Alaskan Goldrush to fight the First World War for the United Kingdom. He married there and remained in service as one of the seven Naval Victoria Cross winners, then became a devoted submarine developer. Admiral Brian McTalion-II would probably never have come back to America, if it weren't for the events around the end of the Second World War for the States..." Godspeed! |
| a most impressive web site and one of the best I have seen of its type. I shall definitely visit your museum. |
| Excellent site, I look forward to returning here. |

I served on board Royal Navy submarines during the 3 year period from 1958 to 1960. The Royal Canadian Navy was planning to buy it's own subs, and volunteers such as I, were sent to the UK on loan to the RN for training. It was the highlight of my career. Most of my posting was spent on H.M.Submarine Artemis. I was also chosen to be in the honour guard for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 when she came to H.M.S. Dolphin to present the submarine command with it's colours. I would like to hear from anyone who could let me know where to obtain copies of photos of that occassion. It was during the last week of May 1959. Thank you for letting me have this message posted. Ronald LeBlanc, ex RCN. |

Great to hear from Jan Berry, wonder if you know Roy (Dixie) Dixon is trying to get a reunion of ex-Conqueror crew (first commish) together. So far found about 5 so come on lads, all you ex-Conx team out there, get scribbling in the guestbook and let us know where you are. Dave Clutten - LRO(G)(Conqueror) RS (Orpheus) can be contacted on [email protected] so give us a shout and it might just come true - would be a real get-together and no doubt. Give it your best shot. We have lost Sandy Powell (Ex CRS)who died in 1999. I went to his funeral as Secretary of the S. Yorks (Rotherham Branch) of the Submariners' Association. Also of course we've now lost Tommy (Nat) Gould VC who died at 86. Good luck to all, and keep up the good work on the website. Yours aye Dick Hilton (Ex-RO1(G)S/M - Conqueror)First Commission. |

HELLO, what a great site you have! it brings back lots of fond memories from when i was in boats . could you e-mail me back about the cost for myself & my two grandchildren tony horner. |

It is good to see this website. I remember many of us making out a deed of covenant to enable the finances to be raised to buy the Alliance |
| Firstly, a big hello to George Richmond of the Ocelot. Seeing your name prompted me to make a reply. Long time, no see shipmate. I served between 1980 - 1991 spent most of my time on the Ocelot, never thought that I would miss those days as much as I do. Best regards to all who may remember me. |

Hi, I am trying to trace my father, or his relatives. According to my birth certificate, his name was William Edgar Blackwell serving onboard HMS Starfish, in 1936. His rank was as a signalman. If you have any records of this vessel, or even of my father ,it would be very much appreciated. I never knew him, but as the years have passed, I find that the need to know at least something would be nice. sincerely Captain M.Blackwell USN (Retired) |
| great place to send the day, very good value for money |

Hello to all my old 'buddies' from HMS/M Courageous I joined in 1972 as a Artificer Apprentice and left in 1980 as a Chief. (I never could get the hang of drafting forms!) Please contact me if you were there. |

| I failed to include my e-mail address in case anyone wishes to get in toutch. I know that there are a great many Sherlock Holmes enthusiastists all over the world that are also curious about The Bruce-Partington Submarine created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Holland (1901), The British D-class, and I am also curious about a Spanish Submarine from a book by Sam Benady (of Gibraltar), "Sherlock Holmes in Givbraltar." That boat was called The Ictineo (1856). John Brousch, [email protected] r |
| I am delighted to have found your site and thank you very much for it. I am a 66 year old retiree, a life long Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, member of several Sherlock Holmes Societies, and have a special interest in the submarine that was never described but the plans of which were in a story, "The Bruce-Partington Plans," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. After much research I believe that Sir Arthur had either the Holland, first sub of the U.S. Navy, or the British D-class, in mind. Obviously, my interest in early submarines has continued to grow, and now I feel quite lucky to have found this web site with so very many fascinating links.

Just had a good skeg round the site (the Bee's bollocks!) - looks like I might have found some old oppo's from my times at Dolphin (training; School Staff and Inboard Galley) and Sovereign (Build and 1st Commission). If anybody remembers Danny Lumsden from his time at Dolphin I'm sorry to have to let you know that he died earlier this year - but he was the same old Danny to the last. Anybody remember me - please get in contact - just to let you all know the set (and the pigtails) has long gone - the bloody skimmers made me get rid of it!! |

We attended the Service at Westminster Abbey on the 2nd Nov 2001. Would just like to say thank you for the invertation, both my husband and myself, enjoyed the service very much. Thank you once again Georgina Gander(Leakey) (father died on the HMS Affray 1951) |

I wonder where any of my shipmates are now? I did my training at the good old training site right opposite Haslar Hospital/Hornet and served on HMs/m TOTEM which was sold to the Israeli Navy and renamed DAKAR. HMs/m RORQUAL - HELENSBURGH / ROSYTH there was a lovely lady who ran the NAAFI and we bunked on the NARVIK!! Ken Patchett saved my life! HMs/m ANCHORITE - SINGAPORE. I was drafted back to DOLPHIN and started the Polaris course but my knee gave out and I was medically discharged from the Submarine Service! Our local in Gosport was the ROYAL ARMS and My mate from Cambridge was Boots Cooper (the most smelliest feet on TOTEM!!!) who had a taxi business in Gosport and he married a lovely from HORWICH near Bolton. My business email address aswell as this one: [email protected] [email protected]. Would love to hear from any of you who might remember me Tich Allebone I have lived in Melbourne, Australia since 1995 fter travelling around the world seeing all the places and countries I visited whilst in the RN. |

I was in Submarines 64/67 and served on HMs/m TOTEM. I was involved in the decomissioning and the handing over to the Israeli Navy when they named it DAKAR. it was very sad to hear that it was lost and only found a year or so ago. Interesting stuff on the website. Good to read it. Alan Allebone Ex Petty Officer D067483N 1962 - 1975 |

Dear Sirs, Would dearly love to pay you a visit next time I am in the U.K. |

|
DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE - and still does, remember those car stickers? Great site and interesting looking through the guestbook. Many happy memories of 34 years in the RN with terrific people, especially in boats: Opportune, Sovereign, Renown & Triumph. It would be good to hear from any past shipmates, in particular Taff Davies who was WE Section Chief in Sovereign (from build through 1st Commission). Very saddened to hear of death (from cancer) of Pete Hilton (also ex Sovereign), so always sponsor a light (CancerCare & St. John's Hospice) on Kendal's Christmas Tree in his memory. All the best to current submariners, great teamwork but never let go of that incredible sense of humour. |

Have just read Part 1 of "The Silent Service" in the current issue of "Navigation News". You might remember me calling you once. Hugh Dewhurst's adopted daughter was my girlfriend in the early 60s. Hugh Dewhurst had just moved to my home village of Keri Keri, bringing his still with him. He made an excellent and fairly lethal gin. At his previous location, he ran the still with "Shrimp" Simpson. In 1972, sadly, I was the Officer-in-Charge of Admiral Simpson's funeral firing party. Accepting your recommendation, I bought a copy of "Shrimp" Simpson's book "Periscope View" and was absolutely absorbed by it. I take my hat off to all Submariners. The book was hard to find. Amazon.com eventually found a second hand one in very good condition in the US. I must come and visit your Museum some day. The website is very good so I imagine the Museum is equally as good. Best regards, John Stewart |

I served from 1972 till 1995 (1978 - 95 on Boats)and had a great time on Swiftsure, Sceptre, Superb, Torbay and a couple of refit boats. Lost touch with a few people over the four or five years. If you're out there post a message and I can reply. Bill Kent. |
|
Served 1941-1946 mainly on L-27 until she was purposely sunk off of Canada in 1944. Comming from Bermuda in 1944 she was severely damaged by a hurricane and considered beyond repair. I think that she was built in 1917, so she had seen many years of good service. |
| up for another check report .hope all are well at the museum |
| thanks for the tour , quite interesting. |
|
My father David Bell Snr, was in the British Navy for ten years and the Australian Navy for another ten. He was asked to come over to the Australian Navy because they wanted some experianced submariners. He served on, I think, on all of the O boats and was a brilliant engineer. If anyone knows a Scottsman by the name David Bell who served on the O boats, could you please contact me. Next year he is turning 60 and I'm sure he would love to know where some of his old friends are. Thank you, David Bell Jnr |

Hi everybody: Excellent job! Do not let people forget of the 1500 crews on the bottom of the Ocean. Central Navy Museum in SPB has no the similar virtual exhibition, as well as Museum-Submarine in VVO. By the way, there are a lot of the songs about submarines and submariners in Russia. What about the British ones? (I do not mean "Yellow Submarine" :)) Regards, Serge |

What a difference between modern nuclear submarines and those of my father's day. I remember as a boy one Navy Week at Portsmouth being taken aboard a submarine and I wondered how anyone could live, let alone fight the enemy, in such conditions. Now I am 75 and our Collins Class submarines are like palaces in comparison. Thank you for letting me make an entry to your Guestbook. Raymond C. Richards. Sydney, Australia. |

Did a brief 2 weeks in original ASTUTE, under LCDR Ringrose-Vose As a Reserve TAS specialist, I figured I'd better learn how the target lived and operated! A fascinating time doing ASPs between Halifax and Bermuda. Then later did a turn in the RCN's ex-USN RAINBOW. Has lead to a large library collection on S/Ms. |
|
Your site brings back memories from many years ago. It would be helpful if we could buy from the gift shop on line. |

I have been in New Zealand now since 1995,I have taken up New Zealand citizenship.My wife is Moari & lived in England for nearly 20 yrs. I am an ex-submariner,only in the Navy 5yrs,wish I had stayed longer but you do silly things when you are young.Iserved on HMS Opportune several times,HMS Osiris for a short time when she was in refit around about 1979-1980 my memory is not so accurate on dates now days.I was in Royal Navy 1976-1981 Royal Fleet Reserve 1981-1986 (Special Class). My best memorries are of HMS Opportune I must of been drafted to her at least 3 times if not more,I remember my drafting preferance was always HMS Dolphin, & out of all my time in Subs I was in squadron 2,HMS DRAKE. I was sorry to see all the p/o boats have gone now brings a bit of a tear to the eye when you remember storries & people,all just memorries now. I have always been trying to get a model of a O-Boat but never had any success,maybe you could help on that one. Any way all the best with the museam,I remember HMS Alliance was still in the water way before she became a museam. Cheers for now Neil A Drummond |

Now looking even better than ever before. Keep up the good work. |

Congratulations on your centenary! My wife and I visited the Submarine Museum in 1999. As a qualifed curator I regarded the museum as one of the best I have seen anywhere. Particularly enjoyed the HMS Alliance tour with which was even more interesting thanks to the guide who conducted us around. The atmosphere of the museum was brilliant and the content very absorbing. Thank you. |

Visited the museum when on exchange with the Royal Navy in 1997, thoroughly enjoyed it. Some time ago my brother emailed asking whether some instructional notes that he had come by would be of interest to you. They were hand written and obviously belonged to an ERA as the pertained to machinery and plant. My estimate was that they were well in excess of 50 years old. Any takers I actually work with a guy who was an RN submariner of the later vintage (last 30 years- nucs) and another works for an engineering firm across the road. Keep up the good work. Regards Barry Fraser Auckland New Zealand |

Visited site for the first time today although have been to the Museum a number of times. Am the daughter of an ex-submariner - Brian "Dan" Daley. He served on various ships and subs and left the RN in 1974 where I was a mere 4 years old! Don't remember an awful lot about being in a Naval family but have heard the stories many times from the time my Dad tried to smuggle a monkey on board ship to bring home for the kids to the time when he did the 100' dive tank at Dolphin for the first time. Was born in Portsmouth and lived in Gosport and am proud of my roots - still have a yearning to go back permanently one day ...... A great site to visit - bringing back fond memories of "home" |

| I've enjoyed exploring your website. I lived in Gosport for over 30 years and only recently moved to Doncaster, South yorkshire. The services and in particular the submarine service make up an important part of my memories of Gosport. I remember when Fort Blockhouse was HMS Dolphin - in fact, I used to run the HMS Dolphin cadet marching band and was there to play the Osiris in for the last time. It's a brilliant, informative site - well done and keep up the good work. |

Give any one of us a bell and let us see if we can organise a hoot'n'roar session somewhere, sometime. Best wishes to all, Taff Davies |

|
Great site.Does anyone remember my dad,he served on several ships then subs,including Adamant,Bulwark,Rorqual,Walrus,he was an Ordance Artificer and left a CPO in 1974 from Dolphin. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers dad with any funny stories,I,m sure there were many good times. Very proud to be an ex-submariners daughter. Frances Hall (nee Daley) |

My grandfather, worked @ Barrow during WW2 on the Thetis AKA Thunderbolt. Submarines have always been a love of mine. |

Just surfaced after many years below to find a lot of my old friends from the past . I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers the good times on the following boats. HMS Renown(P) 69 - 72 Faslane and Bute Attack Teachers HMS Valiant 75 - 78 I fancy a run ashore at Dolphin in October, anyone else? |

Just left after 22 years undetected crime, 16 years in boats although only served on Revenge(Port)as MA & LMA and Victorious(Stbd) as POMA. (Not to mention a brief patrol on Repulse) However, accumulated just short of 10 years sea time. All inboard time was spent in Faslane, presumably due to all future sins as well as past ones. Finally left as CPOMA. New book worth reading - "We Come Unseen" by Jim Ring, all about RN Submarines in the cold war. It appears to be well researched and is well written. Took me only a day to get through it, and a book has to be good for that. Maybe some of you guys took part in the events described. An awful lot of things I know about that didn't get mentioned but presumably they are still of a sensitive nature. |

This time I took one of my Grandaughters with me, 13 year old, and she was over the moon with it all, the Alliance took pride of place with her because her Grandpa, ME,had sailed the North Atlantic in her, she's never stopped talking about it since. On her behalf, Thank you for the memories. Healthy future to you all, Peter Snell |

HMS Alliance was my first Submarine, serving on her for the last 18 months of her service, paying off in 1973. After many years I returned to Dolphin as a CPOMEA (1980) and assisted in placing Alliance in her present position as part of the mueseum. At my last visit I was pleased to see the watch an station board for the stokers with my name on was still in its position where I replaced it as a CPO. outside the stokers mess. Keep up the good work looking after my old boat. |
|
I wonder if you can help.I am trying to trace an old school friend of mine who formally lived on the Isle of Wight up to 1977 When his farther was serving on Sub's. I believe that his farther was a senior officer on HMS Oricle ? and was part of the Spit head review. Farthers name Brian Shipman, son, Gregg shipman he also had a brother who may have joined the navy aswell. I would be very grateful if you could help in my search. Mr Richard Wilson |

Hello again from Marshfield, Mass. where the very first radio broadcast took place back in 1906. The person responsible for this and much more was Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, a Canadian who was also responsible for the Fathometer and much submarine signalling. A most dynamic man. Submariners can thank him for these inventions.. BTW - The first two way radio comms happened between here and Macrihannish, Scotland also in 1906. The first voice across the Atlantic was also between these two stations. Visit him @ http://www.radiocom.net/Fessenden regards, Dave Riley |

Great site, sorry can't make the reunion this year. Hope all that do have a wonderful time and catch up with all old mates. Any Grampus, Acheron type tiffies 1964-70? John L |
| Just stumbled across the website and would like to say how much I enjoyed it. Served in diesel boats from 1967-86 and have many fond memories,especially my time on Onslaught with SM7 in Singapore in the late sixties. Would love to hear from anyone, especially on the stokers mess who served onboard her then. |
|
Served for 3 weeks in HM S/M ASTUTE, under LCDR Ringrose-Vose when she was in 6th Sqn at Halifax, as a Canadian Naval Reserve, specialising in A/S! I agreed with John Buchan (Lord Tweedsmuir) that the way to catch an opponent was to live and think like him. So I served twice in S/Ms, ASTUTE and the RCN's RAINBOW. A fascinating time, with more learned in 3 weeks than in a year's course. |

Since my last visit to this site i have been in contact with lots of old boatmates from the distant past. Still a lot of searching to do . Great site . George Spencer exPo UW1WA or TI. Forendy. |
| Brilliant site! |
| Great to hear from you all. Unfortunately not on E-mail or the web.Currently working in the big smoke for the MOD, but for some strange reason, nothing to do with stores or spare gear ! Number of kids static at six, but now have 11 grandchildren. Who said radiation makes you sterile ?. |
|
Stay with it...it's good to visit, best wishes to anyone I know...long live Dieselboatmen!! |
| As an ex Fleet Air Arm matelot the underwater world seems a fascinating place. No doubt submariners would think this strange but I always used to wonder what I was sailing over when I was at sea. |
|
I notice that there was a memorial service for the lads lost on the Affray recently and I presume there is on for the Truculent. Does anyone know if there is one for the lads lost on the Sidon? This is the forgotten one. Is this because of the small loss of life - 12 submariners and the Doctor. Even just one sailor lost is one too much. In the evening at the setting of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them Lest we forget. Nick |

Congatulations on both an outstanding site, and your Services Centenary. It surly takes a special type of person to serve under the water. Your Museum looks like a must visit the next time I'm in the south coast visiting. Thanks once again. Gary Pawson |
| Great site! |
| I am a collector of Naval Cap Tallies (Ribbons) and other Naval badges, crests etc. But I did not realise that R.N. Subs were celebrating their Centenary. Well done. I am a great fan of the Navy, my sons were Naval Cadets (Sea Cadets) and the elder served in the S.A. Navy as does my son-in-law, he is a Lt. Commander on board one of our few remaining opertaional strike craft. This site is most informative. Wishing one and all all the best for thsi your Centenary and best wishes for the years ahead. |

Did anyone out there know or serve under a Percy William Poole back in the early 30's. Would love to hear from you |

Hello Gosport, In 1987 we, divers from the island Texel layd a memorial wreath on the remainings of the HMS H 49 off the coast of Texel. We kept the position of this wargrave secret. Last year I was in that area looking for a 17 th century wreck, that i could not find then. It was almost slack tide and I decided to visit the H 49. I think you will be interested in what I found there on 27 meter under the surface. The wreck was not touched, the copper conning tower ( like E17 ) was there . She had a little more list than in 1987. A very remarcable thing is; she was sunk in the bottom; she was appr. 5 feet deeper in the sand. Hope you are interested, Yours sincerly, Hans Eelman. |

Well done! I am a member of USSVI-Buffalo Base, got your site from there. In 1965, September or October, had a grand old time with HMS Oberon crew along side of us, SS-348 USS Cusk, at Subic Bay. Really enjoyed the rum ration and the Watneys. I traded a couple of cases of our steaks for a couple of cases of Watneys. I still have a John Courage ashtray that someone swiped from her CPO mess and traded with me for something or other. God bless you all, fair winds and a trailing sea.

A very nice site. The Museum is very good! PS: The Pictures are very fine! |
|
I reckoned the RN Submarine Service was the foremost authority in operating conventional submarines. However, the submarining culture and the ethos that have been created through the sacrifices and the experiences of those who went through its one hundred year history are some of the things that I am proud to have studied. |
|
EX Leading Cook OBERON, OPPORTUNE & OTUS E-Mail me for a ditty |
| Greetings Mick Arbon RNARS 2103, nice to see your print on the net. also Steve O'Day's comments re 'RAGLAFART' - Trafalgar in reverse - made me chuckle bit. Hope that Michael Boyce RN eventually puts a few articles on the net when he's not too busy. Remember Mike, you owe us a lot for waking you up for the morning watch on the Conqueror, by the way which you didn't mention in the newspapers of your past experience - naughty naughty !!! Good luck. |

Like the destroyer, the submarine has created its own type of officer and man - with language and traditions apart from the rest of the Service, and yet at heart unchangingly of the Service. Congratulations on the Centenary of the Royal Navy Submarine Service. Douglas A. T. Bowker, QMCM(SS), SSBN-598, SSBN-629, SSBN-655, AFDB-7 |

You had a great museum. I'm sure it still is, although I may not get the chance to visit again for awhile. |

Today I had the honour of attending the keel laying of Astute which also marked the start of the centenary celebrations. The various speakers particularly FOSM reminded me of the great debt we owe to the men of the submarine service and that my role as a designer is to provide the Royal Navy with submarines worthy of the the contibution the senior service provides to the peace of the world and the rigors and risks the sumariners put themselves through on our behalf. As reminded by Jeff Tall after the ceromony it is the Quailty of the Company we keep that makes submariners a special breed. |

The son of a submariner, I have always been curious about subs and the navy in general although I hate the water. My father served all over the world on many different classes of subs in Malta where he met and married my mother, Hong Kong, plymouth etc. He'll be 65 this April and I thought it would be nice to try and track down some of his old friends. His name is Thomas John Davies born in Portdinorwic North Wales and as I've already mentioned married a Maltese girl in 1958 whilst still in the navy. He used to mention one sub a lot which was Sanguine. I don't know when he served on her but I'll try to find out more information from my mum. If anyone recalls this cheeky, little, Welshman, please drop me a line. Thanks, Andrew Davies P.S. Brilliant Site! |
| Excellent Museum! |
| Ahoy there matey deeps!! |
| Just looking through the site. I have received very favourable emails from United States Navy ex submariners regarding this site. |

Anyone out there who knows me get in touch it would be great to have a reunion in the summer. Keep up the good work with the Museum. |
|
This is mainly just a for a correction to my e-mail address The subs I served in were Solent, Auriga, Tabard, last voyage of the Tally-ho from Malta to Gosport, and Alcide. Just after Christmas I had a dream which involved being on leave. When I awoke, for about 30 seconds I couldn't remember what ship I was on and where she was berthed. Then I remembered I left the navy in 1963. |
| Looking forward to my next visit. |
|
Dont miss the chance to visit this place..a lasting tribute to some of the bravest men to serve this country..the tour of the sub alone makes the visit worthwhile, because of the wealth of knowledge the guides have, due to them all being ex submariners.The tea is good in the Jolly Rodger too.... especailly on a cold day.. |
| Annabel and Jeff - you have done a brilliant job with the website. It now looks and feels even better than ever! |
| Message for Ally Milne,got your X'mas email ,your new address not accepted,ie grumpycorner etc,please email your correct address, if you did not get my email with my postal address,to Wally Bentley got your email but no address on it for return,to all submariners in OZ we have a good association here,why not email Peter Smith at [email protected] for membership details,best wishes to all for 2001 |

| I joined boats in 1959 and my first boat was Sea Scout. From there I went to Thule and was on it when we had a slight altercation with the Black Ranger. I still have photo's of a very bent Thule if anyone is interested. After doing the Mech's Course I joined Artful and then went on to Walrus and Opportune. My days in the Submarine service were unforgetable. My E-mail address in on site and I would be delighted to hear from any old shipmates. An invite to the commisioning of the new Artful would not go amiss. Many thanks to the Navy News for putting me on to this site. |

I first visited the museum several years ago so my husband (a former submariner) could show me how easy it was to put your feet in someone else's breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed it - especially the instructions in the radio room that stated that in case of fire you should - OPEN THE DOOR and SHOUT FIRE . Good Luck for the centenary - hope to visit again for it. Jacky - Robbie Lang's Missus |

| A most entertaining site for any student of British submarine history and developments. Captures the full reality of life and work aboard submarines and the professionalism of the British submariner. |
| I found it very interesting. I have a friend who served in submarines - I can now visualise what he was talking about. |
| My son is a submariner and it is so difficult for me, an ex infanteer, to imagine what it is like for him in his chosen career. The museum does help a little. |
|
I have been trying to find out about boat No50, Stubborn, Trunchon,and also Tacaturn, my uncle served on these boats during the war his name is alf miller who now lives in Bristol. IF any one can help with the hitory of these boats i would be most greatfull. |

Sirs I came down from Birmingham for the week-end taking in the game at Fratton Park ans stayed with some friends in Gosport. They took me to the Submarine Museum Sunday morning and in between dodging the showers I found the visit fascinating! I was surprised how confined it was on the tour of the submarine,in fact it was only when I was in the engine compartment that I could stand up straight !!. I enjoyed it it was intersting and I have learnt a bit as well. To round the tour off I trated myself to a 'luxury bar of chocolate' All the best for the future,so cheers for now S.A.Smith |
| Excellent site, full of forgotten and unknown info. |
| Have visited this museum at Dolphin and recommend it to anyone wishing a good day out.Having served in O and P class it brought back fond memories |

I found your site whilst researching. Amasing site and very informative. I was researching to find the exact date of the balistic misile firing from H.M.S Resolution somewhere off the USA. the nearest I can Guess is early to mid 1968. H.M.S.Aisne and USS Fred T Berry were escorting. |

For a couple of years I have been working on a memorial to the men killed in the wars from my high school in Akron, OH USA. One of the men on the list, Graham Hynam, who's family was originally from Wales, returned home when WWII started was lost when a British sub was sunk. Any suggestions where I might look to find out which sub Graham was on and some details of the sinking. Thanks. David Schember |

| I am a medal collector in England, with particular interest in Submarine Service medals. I would like to hear from Sub-mariners who served during the Korean War, and more recently the Falklands Conflict. I like everyone else who visits the site cannot thank the staff too much for their efforts, keep up the good work....Nick Thompson.u |

Having visited the musuem a few years ago it was still interesting to visit via the internet.Not having served on subs I can only admire the bravery of such men.A friend of mine was involved in the loss of the Thetis off Great Orms head Ironicly near to where the oldest sub went down.Can only hope to see it in your museum in the near future.When in the museum I asked the question did the submariners know of sailors(of which I now am one) when submerged and was a bit perplerxed with the answer.as I had one or two skirmishes with subs in the Clyde and Kilbrennan sound |
|
I am a regular visitor to the Barrow website and each time I visit there is something new.I find the various aspects of the site truly fascinating and of course the memories flood back as swiftly as a "Q" tank.In the words of the eternal submarine philosopher only the good times are remembered.However,with a tinge of regret, at the time of serving I failed to realise what a special privilage it was to be part of such a great service.I recall, "roll on my dozen", that was over 36 years ago,long time no sea.I will continue to maintain a patrol of the Cyber Sea and have no doubt I will continue to be surprised by the things I discover and rediscover.Keep the flag flying. Up spirits Dan Jordan |
| On HMS Tudor in 1950/51. IF ANYONE REMEBERS ME I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU |

As one who has had a lifelong interest in U-Boats, But, I hasten to add, has visited H.M.S. Dolphin museum on more than one occasion. I can honestly say been there, seen the video, done the tour, visited the Museum AND bought the T-Shirt (yes literally). I think its a great site even after just a brief visit. I will certainly recommend it to acquaintances who use the uboat.net (q.v.) which is run from Iceland. Its an interesting sight and very much part of Our Naval Tradition WELL DONE. "Splice the Mainbrace" well if I could but thats for H.M. only these days since 1.7.70 Good Luck, Fair Winds and Good Hunting Yours Aye MPC |
| I AM AN EX-SUBMARINER (KNOWN AS ROBBIE). SERVED ON BOATS FROM 1956-63, TIRELESS, SENESCHAL AND ALDERNEY.

WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM JIMMY TILLMAN (TILLY) OR MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY WHOM I SERVED WITH ON THE SENESCHEL AND ALDERNEY. |

This was a great site and i will look through it again thankyou. |
| AS a ex-submarine sailor for the US Navy USS Daniel Webster SSBn 626 (Gold) I have enjoyed your sight and someday hope to visit the Museum in person soon. |
| I came across this by accident, it's fantastic, I can not believe it is happening to me I served in boats for quite a while and enjoyed it very much, hair raising at times but the good times were good and that is what I prefere to remember. I served on "T" boats mainly, Token was my favourite but there was the Talent and I seemed to stay on one boat for some time and not change from one to another, I did spend a short time on the Affray but fortunately left her when she went in dock at Plymouth for a refit, I went foreign and as you will remember the Affray went down when she came out of her refit, All hands, terrible and a very funny feeling in my gut, after that, before I went out east on the Token, I got a draft to the Truculent, but a mate of mine ask me to swop drafts because his wife was havine a child and he didn't want to go foreign on the Token, so we swopped, again a terrible feeling in my gut. I have visited the museum in Gosport, a couple of times, of course I would, my son is down that way, he's a seargent bootneck, has been in straight from school, he loves it, who wouldn't?? If anyone remembers me and I don't suppose there are many of us left by now, I'm pushing it now and I was one of the youngest around at the time when I was in boats, I got to wear the skippers' uniform one Christmas in Malta, and got served my Christmas lunch by the 1st LT, Jimmy the one! I wonder if such tradition still exists? shame about the bubbly! I'm off fishing now, keeps me young...God bless you all...Peter Snell, retired submariner RN... I prefere that to ex submarine |

Great site. I'm an ex RAN Chief tiff who served on Narwhal, Grampus and Acheron from 1964 to 1970 during submarine training and later on exchange after bringing Trump backn home from Oz. Would like to hear from anyone out there,. Now working with the new COLLINS class boats, John (Jack) Lennon |

I was a US submarine sailor, in the 1960s, during my former life. It was a great adventure for a boy of 19 with many of lifes valuable lessons learned there. I visited the UK several times in the 60s and hold many fond memories of your country. I enjoyed your website and hope to be able to visit the museum one day.

| Look forward to visiting the musium with the grandchildren shortly |
| Looking forward to reunion 2000. |
| Excellent site brings back memory's of my submarine training back in the mid 70's and 80's. Remember doing the escape tank for the first time. A burst ear drum everytime. Also remember as a JMEM spending 3 weeks with a chipping hammer removing the old paint off the firefighting school was it called 'onphire'. Then a couple of weeks chipping paint off the floor in one of the workshops on the jetty. Getting a rollicking for diving into a doorway to avoid having to salute the then Flag Officer Submarines, Admiral Fieldhouse. He had a smile on his face, as I was being tongue lashed by his adjutant,happy days. And wandering around the base in the early hours of a winters night on security patrol (wandering willy). Have started a webpage at the above adress for the crew of the Nuclear Attack Submarine HMS Spartan. Hoping to make contact with the Barrow-build and first commission gang. Regards Mick Morgan |

| I HAVE A SUBMIRENE DO U WANT TO BUY IT |

Ex LRO(SM) 1987 - 1999. Now in the Merchant Navy as a Radio Officer. (Skimmer)! Excellent sight. One fault, in the contents list, you have "sub" database!!! My sea daddy would have thrown a double six if I had EVER called a Boat a "sub"!!!!!!!! |
|
I am interested in all of the website but was not able to find any reference to what was once familiar to me in the 1950s and 60s, the great big thick submarine sweaters that were so warm and comfortable. I would like to buy a couple if available. Regards Dan Jordan |
| I am interested in talking to any one who served with my Father Tom Stanbridge. He served in the R.N.Submarine Fleet from 1943 till the late 60's. |
|
My Son and I had an excellent day out plus I bumped into George Malcolmson who I remember was also a Radio operator on HMS Blake around 1975-6. Excellent well done |
| Served in boats from 1970 to 1978 on Sealion,Walrus,Opportune,Odin(Australia),Finwhale&various; others in spare crew.Ex oppos please contact via e.mail |
| BZ. Will be back. |
| My wife's uncl;e, Godfrey DOWNHAM, served in submarines during the First World War and we are eagerly awaiting response regarding his service record - any fact at all will be a revelation to us. |
|
The history and story of the X-24 type craft and the history and story of Submarine E-11 is truly fascinating. The courage and dedication of those who served thereon is surely a lesson. |
|
I'm looking forward to visiting the museum later this month when I will be on holiday with some friends who are ex-submariners. I would have liked to have put England or at least Britain in the "you come from" slot, but was unable to :) |
|
Excellent web site, hope to visit museum next Friday 8/9/00 Hoping to find out more about HMS Trooper as my great Uncle was a member of the Crew When Trooper sank. |
|
We really enjoyed our day at the museum,and found the people of the museum very friendly and could tell that they really enjoyed their work and nothing was too much trouble.Even more noticable was the thoughtful and caring way our guide on the submarine tour took care in helping the children understand the submariners role in the navy |
|
Hallo! We are 2 girls, on 14 years. We come from Denmark. In our English lesson we work with U-boats, and something like that. You have a nice homepage! We just want to say hey! Marianne & Regitze :-D |
| Visited Museum in 1996, this site is the next best option. |
|
Greetings A very helpful site and worthwhile museum. I am curently researching a war time submarine captured by the RN. The sub in question is the VIIc type U-boat U.570 which later became Graph and was used by Royal Navy during WW2. The main part of her story which concerns me is her capture as the Royal Naval Patrol Service played a part in this. I run a web site dedicated to the Royal Naval Patrol Service which can be found at http://www.harry-tates.org.uk If anyone has any information on her capture then I would be most interested. |
| Greetings from the colonies. This is a great site,well done. |

My family and I visited the S/M Museum today 22/8/2000 for the first time in ten (yes 10)years. The exhibits were first class as were all the staff we spoke to. I was horrified to learn that HMS Dolphin was transferred to Faslane. A VERY poor move by their Lordships I might add. Hope the Museum is not moving north. Keep up the splendid work. I intend to re-visit on a regular basis as the Submarine Service will always be in my blood. Paul Jermy |
| JUST TO SAY THAT WE ARE THINKING OF THE SUBMARINERS AND THE FAMILIES OF THE KURSK MAY WE NEVER SEE A CATASTROPHE LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN AND OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU ....A SERVING SUBMARINER. |

You will have been 'flooded' with site visitors with the loss of the Kursk. I will visit you when next returning to the 'old country'. An excellent site. Thank you. John. (ret'd R.N.) |

Well done on getting the message across. As a member of the Submariners Association, Submarine Association of Canada, Royal Naval Association and HMS Cavalier it makes me proud to know that we are not forgetting the past and we are always looking forward. |
| A VISIT TO YOUR WEB SITE, ON THIS DAY WE KNOW NO RUSSIAN SUBMARINERS FROM KURSK WILL BE GOING HOME |

Visiting this museum gave a great oppurtunity to see what sort of things my Grandfather, Anthony Gowthorpe, or"Yorkie" experienced during his service. My Granfather served on 4 submarines, the Thule (Apr 1961-July 1961), Token (Nov 1961-March 1962), Porpoise (Aug 1963-Dec 1964) and Ojibwa, Canadian (Sept 1965-1968).

Wonderful site look forward to visiting the museum again in the the future visit to Gosport. |
| Iwish to thank my good friend Eddie Eades for giving me a mention on the museum page.I like many other Sad Submariners are very proud of our history and our present friends in the fleet.The museum keeps memories alive which is what we all want so keep supporting it and visit it when ever you can.Remember we're all " Buddies in Boats" which is why i hope all of us can have a few moments of thought for our Russian Buddies who are deep in the Pooh at the moment.God help them! |
| Very good, i felt as if i was back walking around the museum. |
|
Nice website and keep it going. I was trying to find out more about the "LR-5" resque sub from the Royal Navy as it's name was mentioned on the BBC teletext refering to the Russian sub that is now downed on the Baltic Sea bed. How come the Russians are refusing help ... ? Are they so proud to let over a 116 crew die. Kind regards, Koen Roumieux. Belgium. |

My father's last boat in the RN was the Alliance.He retired after 13 years in the RN. We are all very proud of him. He also served on the Alderney, the Sidon and the Tally Ho. Through people like him, we have the freedom of speech that so many take for granted.Would they go through what he went through? I think not. Let us all be thankful that there are such people.

HI AND HATS OFF TO THE PERMANENT SUBMARINE MUSEUM RESIDENT MR. ALY MILNE. THE RN'S SADEST SUBMARINER! |
| My father was a Petty Officer on submarines, and was in the Royal Navy from 1963 to 1978. His name was Colin Paton, also known as Paddy Paton. He served on the Warspite, the Churchill, the Valiant, the Sealion, and the Talent. Does anyone out there remember serving with him? He was based in Helensburgh and Plymouth. Also, I was the first to be christened on HMS Churchill, on 24th January 1971. Did anyone out there serve on the sub at that time? |

| I was hoping to find some information on my the Submarine that my unlce went down in the Vandal. His name is Abraham Bettany, and although the position of the ship has been located, nothing much more is known. I know that my father, (his brother) Des Bettany, who is still alive and survived Changi would be interested in any sites of info. you could provide. We do hope to visit the museum if we get a chance to return to Britian. |

| A bit confused with the 'Submarine Database' - the link takes you to a page all about raising money for the Museum - all in a good cause, I'm sure, but I was looking for a form to fill in! Why not put the data form online? Printing a form, filling it in and posting it via Snail Mail is just too much hassle! (And doesn't this form word-wrap? - I'm still typing on the top line!!). |

Having visited your museum, I find it good that you also appear on the Net. Your Submarine Museum is a very well presented center. I am looking for a photo of U-234 as she was haned over by the Canadian Navy to our prize crew just outside Portsmouth, NH. I was on the bridge of U-234 when the aerial photo was shot, and I would like to obtain a copy. LT Coffin and I (then LT) were the volunteer Officers heading the prize crew. Thanks for any help you may supply. W.L. Bruckart |

I dont know if this will get to any person that I served with in the Royal Navy or Royal Australian Navy, but here goes anyway. Perhaps anyone who served on Tapir,Truncheon, or served at Fort Blockhouse during 1966-1967. I served on Tapir 1960 Malta, and then departed for Australia serving on the 12th Submarine Division Sydney, N.S.W. I am particularly interested in finding Geoff (smudge) SMITH, who I served with in Australia on Tapir. All I know is that geoff's parents ran a hotel in England called the "Leather Bottle" I Know that this is a tall ask but one has to try somewhere. There may be a list of hotels in England (near London I Think). Cheers Ted Keating. |

Visited your museum on the 14th July, it brought back pleasant memories of when I was a submariner on Warspite from 1968 to 1973 and my year on Revenge. I hope the museum continues to grow. |
| I left the RN after 22 year career on subs in 1997. I served on Oracle, Sealion (5 years), Odin. Its a great website of course of particular interest to me. I loved my time especially my 16 years on P&O; boats. Keep up the good work. |

Visited the Museaum on June 28th and had a great experience. The guided tour of the HMS Alliance is thrilling. Having been aboard an operating diesel sub in the US Navy, it brought back many memories (including that of a fire in the forward battery room at 200 feet). Thank you for preserving the history of RN Submarine Service and the honor and memory of the men who served and died. |

The submarine museum is good, fun for the children and interesting. We have been to it numerous times and still find something new and interesting each time. |
| Fascinating sight, but would have appreciated more information about sonar and radar. |

Are Chopper Manley, Scouse Kilkelly, Harry Hampson out there somewhere ? |

| A very interesting history of the navy. |
| With a museum as good as Alliance and all the other displays it's hard not to find something interesting.Keep up the good work and i look forward to the centenial celebrations. |
| A wonderful source of info for a researcher like me. |
| I served in the submarine service 1988-1991 mainly on HMS Intrepid stbd crew .I enjoyed this sight very much |
| Greetings from a former crewmember of the USS Greenling (SSN-614) I am glad someone did not turn my boat into a buffet. It was bad enough to have to eat on board. Good luck with the museum! |
| Served on FOSM's staff as a CPO in No. 10 Work Study Team in the late 60's. I'm now looking back at the history of the submarine. Your website is most commendable for clarity and information. Regards, ex Rel Mech [Air] 1 |

| Great Site- brought back vivid memories of my visit when i was 10. |
| I served with the Royal Navy on loan from the RCN from 1963-1968. I was stationed at HMS Dolphin during my submarine training. While at Dolphin I visited the museum several times during my stay. It was good then and it appears much better now. After my submarine course I was posted to HMS Odin based out of Portsmouth. I served on Odin for about 2 years then I joined the commissioning crew of HMCS Onandaga. I done workups with Onandaga and then joined HMCS Okanagan and after her workups I sailed her back to Canada to join the First Canadian Submarine S.quadren |

My old man was a rn submariner during ww11 serving in the atlantic, mediteranean and came out here with the british fleet towards the end of the war. I believe he also served on Tabard. I noticed a lot of ex rn submariners living out here have signed the guest book. It has given me possible contacts to find out more of the old man. as an aside dad married mum when he was stationed out here and she was one of the warbrides that travelled to England in Victorious. I have not had much time to explore your site tonight but look forward to doing so in the future. Bob |

I was in the US Naval Submarine Service in the '60s. We often operated with the British. We operated in NATO exercises with the Dreadnaught in 1964 in the North-East Atlantic. I have also visited many British Submarines when visiting Portsmouth in 1964. The British shared there Rum with us and we shared our open galley with the British. I am proud to call the Brithish people my freinds. |
|
Your museum is fulfilling a wonderful potential for those with little or no knowledge of the remarkable achievements made by your eminently courageous naval personnel. I am indeed gratified with the quality and scope of the museum's presentation. I have been honored to have known, visited, and served with members of the British Navy during WWII and subsequently in the US Navy's Mediterranean Sixth Fleet. As a matter of fact my ship, the USS NECHES-AO47, brought a badly burned crewmember into your Gibralter Naval Station for hospitalization. He received signal treatment and ultimately returned to our ship for his continued service. With my most sincere appreciation for a job - WELL DONE!!! Robert Emmert Gray, CDR USNR Retired |

I am very interested in your web site because my father who will be 80years old next month has expressed a desire to visit a submarine. He served on submarines during the Second World War and was one of the fortunate ones who lived to tell the tale. We shall bring him down on his birthday and look forward to an interesting day. I am very interested in your website because my dad who will be 80 years old next month has expressed a desire to visit a submarine. He is an ex-submariner who served during the Second World War.

I am a Volunteer Guide at Australia's National Maritime Museum and spend about 4 hrs per week on our Oberon Class sub, HMAS Onslow, based in Sydney at Darling Harbour. The rest of my time is divided between a Daring Class Destroyer, HMAS Vampire, and our visitor from Holland , the Batavia. It's great to spend time with our many English visitors and hope I can say hullo in person at Portsmouth one day! |
| Your web site is an excellent station. |
| Had a superb tour of HMS Alliance on Friday 28th April, the guide was fantastic. If any old HMS Repulse(Stbd) crew from 1989-1991 esp the comms lads, drop me a line. |
| Very good indeed. Keep up the good work. |
| A bit different than what was at Dolphin in 1976. |

Great museum, to go with the other attractions in the Portsmouth area. When I was leaving the area for Win- chester, I saw 2 subs laying in the mud of the harbor. Can anyone tell me what these boats are? It reminds me of the pictures we see of Vladivostok's harbor, although I'm sure these boats aren't leaky nukes, as in Russia. |
| I am writing this on behalf of my Father Ronald John Owen who served on the submarines HMS Finwall and HMS Catchalot in the 60's and 70's. If you remember my Father please let me know and I'll pass your message on. |

Good morning. I am a former member of the RCN who served in submarines from 1960 to 1967 including a tour in SM6 in Halifax. I now teach strategic studies at Dalhousie University and am also on contract to our Department of National Defence to help in the writing of the official history of the RCN from 1945. My immediate task is to prepare the official narrative of the Canadian involvment in submarines including with the RN and USN and the 1965 acquisition of three British Oberon-class submarines. I am looking for information on the Sixth Submarine Division based in Halifax from 1955 to 1966. Our own archives are good but not quite complete. Do you have anything covering that subject? I am also looking for information on a conference I believe the RN is hosting in September this year celebrating the 100th anniversary of the submarine's entry into the Navy. Do you happen to have any information on this event? With many thanks for your help. Peter Haydon |
| I am retired Canadian Navy who served on loan to the RN submarine service from 1958 to 1968. Served on HM Submarines Sea Scout, Grampus, Acheron, Osiris and Aeneas. Would love to hear from any old ship mates. |

Joined Royal Navy 1962 surface ships till 1968 then joined subs this period was the best served on HM S/M Repulse(port). Great site keep it going. |
|
I have visited the Submarine museam once before,(I used to live in the UK.) and I am looking forward to taking my wife and children there in the future. Great site, and a great way to show people the achivements of HM Submarine force, and the sacrifices made for our Freedom in two World Wars and in peacetime. I will be adding a link to this page when I reorganize my own site. |
|
i enjoyed my time served in the s/m service, however i am currently serving in the surface fleet but hope to be back on subs in the not to distant future. enjoyed the web page good luck in the future. |

Wanting to get in touch with anyone who served on the HMS Sealion 1939-1945 with my father, Reg/Harry Busby. Any information will be gladly received. |

The Nasmith Exhibition you have shown online is very interesting. I have a copy of the Dardanelles Patrol which is a very enjoyable book to read. As a serving submariner i know that today's men on boats have it easy compared to the wartime crews. They deserve all the credit for making the service what it is today and for setting the standards we all try to follow in todays service. Yet another excellent addition to the museum and i hope the success continues for years to come. |

I am seeking information regarding a book relating to HM Submarine activities during WW11. The particular book I would like to refer to is called 'The Stick and The Stars' by Lt Cmdr Mars RN. It is a factual account of service in action. It also makes strong reference to HM Submarine 'Upholder' , also of WW11. Would be pleased if anybody could help. Thank You and Best Wishes. Robert |

Enjoyed visiting your site. My time in Boats 1950 - 54 Served on Trespasser and the Alliance My rank P.O.S.M. These days to keep contact with Boats I do guide duties on board the Austalian Boat Ovens. We have been open to the public since December with a total of about 7000 going through. This is a good result as the Ovens is only open 3 days per week. Would be pleased to hear from anyone. Joe. |
| I enjoyed the tour very much. I wish I could see it in person |

Served in Acheron, Alderney and Amphion 55-61 and found site very interesting |
