Well, it's certainly something many people don't see every day.
Good sense of scale from the different perspective.

Great photos. Good to see that steam power is back in favour! - do they use coal or this new fangled oil to heat the boiler(s)?

Is the door(?) on the front of the conning tower supposed to be open as she submerges?

The time I watched Astute being done the same thing the door was open then, and the 'steam' will be the compressed air exhausting from the ballast-tanks as they are flooded. Good pix by the way, 'kingsown'.

Reading this post bring back to mind an afternoon clambering through a midget submarine, HMS Sprat.

" shows HMS Sprat tied up at the Customs House after a voyage up the Nene in November 1957 on an official visit to Peterborough and, of course, to Perkins.

My Dad would have liked that!!!. A Submariner during the war, he SHOULD have been on the 'Affray' when it sank with all hands in the Channel. He was ashore with an arm injury. Saved by a rugby match.....................
