Re: Calling all R.N. "O" Boat Fans!
I'll take you're speaking of the Cold War SS's correct? There's also the interwar "O" class of submarines of which Oberon was the first of the class. If it's the second choice you're looking for I might be of assistance. If it's the Cold War subs I'm afraid I have not much to give for the time being.

Canadian "O" Boat Being Barged to a Museum
On May 26, I photographed ex-HMCS Ojibwa being towed from Halifax to Ontario, Canada for display at a museum. It is going to Port Elgin Military Museum. This may be an idea for a diorama. It was towed by Florence M, ex-Point Vibert and Foundation Vibert.

She needs a big overhaul indeed! I hope she makes it properly.
