thats what i'm after, cheers, much better than nicks idea that would prolly end up with me in guantanemo bay.
Nah, you're OK if you stay on public land.
It's the lesbian clown anti-nuclear protestors you have to watch out for.
Seriously.
It's very easy to escape from that place ... at least according to Harold and Kumar 2 ... and if you don't escape then you'll enjoy your stay there (as per H&K2 :-P )
yeah i see what you mean, but i don't want to make a wasted trip, and i doubt they'd tell me if a sub was in port if i just rang them up.
ACHTUNG ACHTUNG! DIVE DIVE DIVE! BWOOOOP BWOOOOP!
Erm... I'm sure there must be a submarine fanatics forum somewhere on the lolatron that contains the sort of dork that can give you reliable information.
I went on a German U-boat in Chicago - one they captured at the end of the war. It's in pretty much perfect condition, and they even ran the engine in the 90s to see if they could get it to run again... and it ran fine. I couldn't help but hum the "Das Boot" music while aboard :-)
Edit: Also http://www.uboat.net/ will give you the location of U-boats that you can visit.
I think the musuem is in the south, or south west, and goes by the name of HMS Dolphin?
They have a Holland "class 1" there.Not the worlds first sub, but one of the first where the crew didn't like "die" as soon as they got in it.
As a kid, the most useless book in the world that I ever saw, was...........
THE I-SPY BOOK Of SUBMARINES!
I'll borrow him my DeLorean then, so he can travel back 60+ years in time ;-)
but i'd still have to drive to germany, which would be quite hard considering the channel tunnel was still in construction.
Don't ask me were in Scotland but he went up there 3-4 times a year to do it...some maybe try up there.
This is still operational so suggest Miles does not go there unless he wants a body full of lead...then again...:wink:
He's safe so long as he sticks to public land. Been there, done that, saw lots of silly protesters.
aren't the police allowed to detain suspected terrorists if they are on public ground? sounds odd. :grin:
women aren't allowed to serve in subs, i think if they get a period at that pressure their fannies expolde or something.
Yep. I've been on that tour, and it's pretty good, just what you're after, Mile. Lots of other cool stuff to see there too.
i can't speak russian!!
or course neither could sean connery, not even with a passable accent, so i'd be ok.
As a Gosport resident, I can confirm that the Gosport Submarine Museum does have the Holland 1, which was the first Royal Navy submarine and does offer tours around a decomissioned submarine, just don't go in it if you don't like enclosed spaces.
