The British replaced it with the Upholder class. then sold them to the Canada. recall the one in the news a few years ago having problems just after we sold it.

uuugh....that would be putting it mildly, after the British inflicted their cars on us they turned around and did it to us again with their subs. 3 billion dollars spent on four subs and they are all death traps.

Nice pictures Dave, I wish it wasn't so far from Leicester as I would like to visit Chatham.

BTW
I am working with two ex-submariners and I asked them today if they were 'soap dodgers' or 'the great unwashed'

One admitted that he had been a soap dodger, the other denied on both counts of avoiding soap and water whilst submerged for long periods in non-nuclear subs.

I only admit to working in a coal mine for 20 odd years and enjoying the removal of the filth at the end of the shift. I can't imagine what it's like to be cooped up with other sweaty bodies for days on end[:D]

It wasn't only after weeks at sea, some of those RN types on that delivery trip I'm sure had not seen soap & water for some months before we started.

Those bl00dy "plimsols", sand shoes type things they wore, yuck. God help me I'm sure some of them had not had them or their socks off their feet in months.

Kind of glad they didn't take them off anywhere near me. Never got on a sub again, so don't know if all submariners are the same.

Thanks for the TF info. I didn't think I was that bad yet, but what's that about us being the last to know?
