      The X1 looks like it is at Chatham? if so my house is about 2 1/2 miles right and back a bit.

          Picture of HMS X1 came from the Chatham website.
          Your journey of discovery starts here - just 35 miles from central London, a visit to The Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent is a guaranteed adventure.

            Was the triton found and raised? It went missing in 1940, and thats a nice color picture of a "T" boat. That's another WWII sub sinks sub story there, trigger happy skipper sinks his wing man, faux pas. Evidently the Captain of the Triton mistook the HMS Oxley another RN T-sub running a few miles abeam on the surface and sent a couple visual signals, with no response. Intel on u boats operating in the area had been given, so he assumed it was german and torpedoed and sunk it. They covered up the real story till around 1950 when all the documents and testimony was declassified. At least thats what there saying now. The thing is, I have been privy to a couple historicle events in the early 60s, with first hand experience. The way its told in the "history books" or social media now days isnt exactly what actually happened. Sometimes the event has been embelished and dramatised, or on the other hand, covered up completly. Sometimes even some of each. Actual WWII incidents are still being exposed all the time, now that the old guys are giving up the ghosts before they check out with a clear consious.

              The Triton that I was referring to and posted the picture on was the Nuclear powered Triton. The only twin nuclear powered boat the US made.

                    baleo class hatches I have been up and down a few times in my youth. Razorback had one of the "atlantic sail" mods.

                        no buddie line, nice warm water, looks like a seafood survey swim to milk the perverted goat, "somebody better grab the tool kit on the way out, or it will be hand signals and dive knives the rest of the afternoon" You gotta wonder about the guys you dont see...besides the camera man himself and his pahtnah

                            Is that a dry-shelter or the side of the sail (been out of the game way, way too long)?

                                Looks like the side of the sail.
