Title: Difficulty Identifying Naval Vessels
Post by: Alan Green on October 16, 2011, 04:27:17 PM
I had the opportunity to visit the Portsmouth Naval Dockyard on 19.08.11 and took photos of many of the vessels berthed there. Regretfully, there are 3 vessels which I am unable to identify: 2 lying alongside each other appear to be decommissioned, and I believe the other would be an RFA.  Is there any way of finding out what vessels were in dock on 19.08.11 ?

Why not just post the photos in "Mystery Vessels"?

Hi Alan,

have you been INSIDE the dockyards? Looks like a ship tour.
I am still looking for a navigational aid I was unable to get because its location inside the military dockyard in Southampton for my pages www.ListofLights.org (http://www.ListofLights.org).

Could you check your pictures please if you find something similar looking like this http://www.listoflights.org/bilder/band_a/gross/A0596.jpg (http://www.listoflights.org/bilder/band_a/gross/A0596.jpg)?

The Direction Light is located in Basin 2 on 50
