From the November Portsmouth (UK) News.
Well, technically, the ship did not fight in the war. I would have rather seen this to be one that had actually seen action.
Seven million pounds have been earmarked to preserve Britain's last remaining submarine from World War II. This will be the biggest restoration on the HMS Alliance since the 1960s and will include new mechanical and electrical plants as well as a new dry dock.
The ship is in desperate need of repairs.
New stairs will be built at the bow along with a new viewing platform and pontoons.
The submarine will remain open during the work.
According to Wikipedia, the Alliance was launched in 1945 and not completed until 1947 and today serves as a Royal navy Submarine Museum at Gosport in Hampshire.
Never Heard of This Old Ship. --Cooter
