All shipping movement in Plymouth Sound and in the River Tamar came to a standstill on Friday morning, (2nd March), as the nuclear powered submarine, HMS Vengeance, 150 metres (492 feet) long, sailed into Plymouth Sound and up river to her specially converted dock to begin a refit.
This should have happened on Thursday but had to be postponed because of fog. However conditions improved, and surrounded by tugs and numerous security craft, she completed the final leg of her current voyage.
She's a big boat. I have only ever been on a diesel sub.
