West is BEST
I reckon some on here will be up for this…

It’s free of charge but you need to book. Link below.


A final chance to see HMS Shoreham before she leaves service with the Royal Navy.
On 15 May 2022 HMS Shoreham will open to the public for free tours so you can witness first hand the capabilities of such an important vessel. The ship visit will be strictly for ticket holders only and the visit will last approximately 30 minutes.
HMS Shoreham is one of seven Sandown-class specialists based at the Clyde Naval Base in Farslane, Scotland. A smaller ship, HMS Shoreham is home to 41 crew members, including seven divers, who enjoy regular training to make sure their skills are always current and ready to deploy.
The courageous, highly-skilled crew work together to clear the oceans of hidden dangers. That could mean searching for – and safely removing – historic mines that remain after past conflicts, or playing a vital role in active service, detecting and destroying threats and helping to make sure larger ships enjoy safe passage.
Currently, HMS Shoreham’s top priorities are supporting to the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent, and helping to guarantee safe passage for shipping – both in UK waters and further afield.
Did you know? Sandown-class minehunters have glass-reinforced plastic hulls to help conceal their presence from sea-mines.

Deepest, darkest Sussex
HMS Cavalier, now at Chatham dockyard.

Wasn’t quite as successful as HMS Roundhead, however.

That one’s for the historians out there…

I Joined the RN in 1990 and served as an Electronic Warfare specialist. This within the operations department. A lot of the guys i joined with also went on to work within the operations department but as mine sweeping specialists. They were known as MUPPETS... always found this highly amusing. Those were the days...

Enjoy your tour to all that are visiting

Well done Royal Navy!!

It was a long wait to get on, but well worth it, despite some hangovers on show the Navy lads all gave their time and were very engaging, my son was thrilled and it was just a very good experience all round.

That’s because they were all in lancing legion last night. A good evening was had by all.
