Submarines always look sinister

Heading through Plymouth Sound towards the Naval Base at Devonport.

Morning Arrival

Submarines just look sinister.

This one was making her way across Plymouth Sound 

on her way to the Naval Base, on the shore of the River Tamar.

HMS Vengeance moving through Plymouth Sound

last Friday morning, on her way out to sea.

Take a close look at the foreground of the picture below.

The ladies of this "Wild Water" swimming group got closer to the action than anyone else managed.

Shadowed by her escorts

this submarine passes Drake's Island, in Plymouth Sound, 

on the way to her berth in the Devonport Royal Naval Dockyard, on the River Tamar.

Out of the early morning mist.

This submarine is making its way across Plymouth Sound,

passing Drake's Island, on its way up the River Tamar

to its berth in the Devonport Naval Base.

Just like an iceberg, a large part of vessel is below the level of the water.
