Old news but no mention of it here on the military loving forum that is pistonheads.


Big old nuke spotted in Douglas bay the other week.

Taken from Manxfoums

It's ok, it's one of ours. A Vanguard class sub. It's there to protect the IOM from the Icelandic surface invasion fleet.

The Icelandic Invasion Fleet?

What's that? Bjork riding a polar bear?

I don't think we need to worry about that Katona woman, she's more of a beached whale than a swimming one...

Common sight here on the Clyde with them coming and going from Faslane.

They are impressive though!

Thats a great pic! Nice to know we're protected too!

Wonder which one it is, one of the women at work has two lads on subs!

I like the way the Manx Navy has sent its best ship out to intercept the sub.

HMS Victorious according to the link. Won't be one of the boats on active service (especially not THE one) and Victorious is the only one on sea trials following a refit at Barrow.

Send the pic to the Beeb and Nuclear Sub in near miss with passenger ferry will be all over the press tomorrow.




I remember seeing a few of our smaller subs off the west coast of scotland near Arran when sailing up there, its a great sight almost as exciting as spotting dolphins in your bow wake. Or am I just sad?

Refit at Plymouth to be pedantic!

What's that? Bjork riding a heavily mortgaged polar bear?
