Our Story
Assault all your senses by walking onboard HMS Alliance, the only remaining Second World War era submarine, and take a journey through every decade of her service. Take a peek through the working periscopes, and see, hear and even smell how life was lived under the sea.
A tour of Alliance begins in the forward torpedo store, then on through the accommodation space to the control room, where experienced submariner guides demonstrate the navigation systems including diving and surfacing. The tour continues through the galley and on to the heart of the submarine, the engine room, before culminating in the aft torpedo compartment, where the guides explain how submariners would escape in an emergency. Along the way, you can also peer through the working periscopes to view Portsmouth Harbour.
Alliance forms the centrepiece of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum along with Holland I and X24, the museum also contains thousands of photographs, documents, ship plans and artefacts. The Royal Navy Submarine Museum is located in Gosport on the former site of HMS Dolphin; home to the Submarine Service for 100 years. A complimentary waterbus takes visitors across the harbour from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

Ive just completed my MA in fine art at the university of Leeds . My final exhibition is about my dad who was CPO on HMSub. Safari under Commander Ben Bryant. A man I know would have lain down his life for. My dad received his DSM from the King for taking part in Operation Huskey taking commandos in to survey the beaches in Sicily and the returning the commandos back to the boat. As kids he told us DSM stood for Did Sleep Most . My research into flying Jolly Rogers revealed what he did . Brave Men
Last chance for historians with submarine interests? After experience as Engineer Officer HMS ALCIDE from 1955 to 57, I was fortunate to be the first of a new genertion of ordnance officer specialists assisting in the development of anti-submarine torpedoes and systems capable of discharging them at any depth.
Now in my nineties, if anyone has any questions about the 1955 to 1964 problems of the weapon systems of the P and O Class diesel electric submarines and HMS DREADNOGHT, the first nuclear, I'd be happy to try to help answer them.

Your Ask the Archives event appears to emphasis family records, but will questions/viewings of technical archives also be allowed?
Tried messaging you a few times never seem to get a reply
I am looking for a gentleman whom served in the Royal Navy in the 60's aboard HMS Auriga. And at one point was stationed in Halifax ,Nova Scotia.The mans name is Stan or Stanley Morris..
I am wondering if anyone recognises these brothers. I have had this postcard for nearly 30 years. It was amongst a large collection of postcards that were mainly of Dorset coastal scenes. I kept this one as I'm intrigued to find out more about these men and whether they have any surviving family to return it to. The sailor's hat says 'HMS CACHALOT'. On the back of the postcard is handwritten 'Ken & Stanley Bottle'.
Good morning,
i am researching the Galgate (near Lancaster) War memorial, and one of the Men was killed on board HMS P32 (built at barrow) in 1941.
try as i might i cant find a pic of the submarine, can you please help?
kind regards
Shaun Corkerry
