If anybody needs a new excuse to visit Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, Monitor M33, one of only 3 remaining British warships from the First World War (the others are HMS Caroline in Belfast and HMS President on the Thames IIRC) has completed restoration and is now open to the public

The whole complex is worth a vist. I'm not an agent for Portsmouth tourism, but the town has it right. You can now get straight off the motorway into a secure car park, with the price of return tickets for up to eight via a dedicated bus service right to the Dockyard gates included in the charge. There is a quirky dispaly of old penny dreadful and what the butler saw machines as well. There is also Fort Nelson above the town. Warrior, which is half a day to see properly. Explosion the Royal Navy Gunnery Musuem, the Submarine Musuem, the D-Day museum. Plan on a long day.

plus of course The Mary Rose, Victory, the National Museum of the Royal Navy, the Coastal Forces boats and now Boathouse No 4. There's also the Royal Marines Museum at Southsea
