Later I learned that it was HMS Valiant, a 35 thousand ton battleship. As we got to the dock we could see there were a lot of Singhalese workmen and they were in a panic.

It is thought likely that HMS Valiant, lead boat of the Valiant-class nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), will be one of the two boats placed on contract for recycling in 2025.

Go to HMS Valiant crew notice board. then click crew notic board and my story will come up, I can add to this. I would love to hear my story on the television, we done alot during the 2nd world ...
