Comment: I just wish to pay tribute to Dreadnought, a fine ship, which I had the pleasure of touring way back in the late 60s. We were a ships company of Sea Cadets and were warmly received by all and looked after very well. Splice the mainbrace.

Comment: Hello Evryone Anyone remember "Pinky" the PO Cook after Jan's whites were washed with a red towel!! Oh, and scraping the bottom of the hull with Com.Clyde and FOSM on board. Remember stealing a bit of the matting from the W/T shack for a pipe bracket. Dogs loved me for that. "F--in' Tiffies(spit!!). Changed a feed pump one night in S/Africa with Greg Peck, who I last heard was the Engineer at Vale of Leven Hospital. Could go on (as you do!!) Cheers for now geoff

Comment: Does anyone have the North Pole trip story in Word form (and not copyrighted)?? It's for the Scottish Land Rover Owners Club mag as the ed. has asked me to write a dit and I'm not an author. geoff

Comment: Followed the link from my old boat, Spartan, but as an eight year old, I spent my first hours at sea on a submarine - the Dreadnought. My father, RMech. J. Berwyn 'Taff' Davies, served on her during 66-68, bringing me onboard for the Families Day, 31/03/68. Report, with sadness, that my father crossed the bar in June 2005. As for the old boat my last encounter was a brief visit to her when she was docked in Devonport in 1980, fate uncertain. Best Wishes and Regards Glenn 'G.O.' Davies

Comment: my dad is Darby. have to say, my memories of the Dreadnought are of being taken on board to see where dad slept.. and the smell of the place! I remember Nialls christning and everything being covered in t-towels so we couldnt see the top secret stuff.
