Thank you PoP for the news. I have a soft spot for the submarine units as my uncle was a sub captain in the U.S. Navy. He was stationed at the Holy Loch base in Scotland in the early to mid 1980's.

You're welcome TLLK. I forgot to mention the Duke of Cambridge in addition to being Commodore in Chief is Royal Patron of the HMS Alliance Conservation Appeal.

Prince William to Visit Gosport

Submarine HMS Alliance looks a little different today to how she was when the Duke of Cambridge last saw her.

Prince William came to Gosport in 2008 to open a memorial to thousands of lost submariners at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Haslar.

Now he's coming back to see the fruits of a multi-million pound conservation project which has restored the ship to the way she was.

IT was down the hatch for Prince William today as he glugged back a huge tot of rum in the line of duty and became an honorary submariner.

The Duke of Cambridge  had a big smile on his face after downing in one the tumbler of Pusser's Navy Rum before being presented with his dolphins submariner's insignia.

William, 31, was spared the usual ordeal, however, of having to pick up the dolphins in his teeth from the bottom of the glass after downing the tot.

Instead, he was presented with the insignia afterwards. "We're not going to choke you today," smiled Vice Admiral Sir Tim McClement, chairman of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.

He was given an officer's measure, with no water.
