    These subs were actually aircraft carriers. Bizarre to imagine that an underwater craft could contain, in a water-tight hold, aircraft, which could be "launched" when the sub surfaced.

    Haha...that would have been easier than typing "sub wrecks in the Pacific" into Google and trawling through as I did!!

    I haven't got a right click on iPad, but just went back and found that if you hold your finger down on the picture, the linked page comes up :smiley:

    Took 30 years or so until a sub was built that was bigger than these masterpieces.
    I've just bought a clock from I 400 from the family of a Yankee sailor who nicked it before it was scuttled.

    Kid brother just left the service after 25 years, ending on HMS Astute. Been privileged to a tour his very first boat in the day, a diesel Otus(?)many moons ago, very claustaphobic I remember. Then three years ago got a tour of a bomber HMS Vanguard, again very very claustaphobic despite its relative size. It was out of the water in the ship lift at Faslane. Blows your mind looking up at a seven story submarine weighing 6000 tonnes ish I think.

    The museum at Gosport has been re vamped and is highly recommended.
