REME 245 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I went for an interview with the council which covers Dartmouth many years ago. The guy from the council told me that there used to be a costal inlet which after WW1 had a number of German Submarines tied up in. The story was where they were latter became a landfill dump and is now a rereation ground. The German Goverment had asked for permission in more recent years to carry out a exploritory dig but had been refused permission. Don't know if anyone local can confirm this.

Tony B Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The Royal Naval Firepower museum in Portsmouth have a remarakable collection of small arms that came from the fleet. Though most are in storage, viewings can be arranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 As a slight aside to this, does anyone know if any of the K Boats still exist? The K boats were WW1 period STEAM SUBMARINES with a slight design flaw. A comment about them was made by Rear Admiral Ernest W Leir. "The only good thing about K boats was that they never engaged the enemy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
