I CANNOT believe we didn't know this was here until the Finnish Defence Ministry tipped us off.
The Estonian Maritime Museum has an INTERWAR VICKERS-ARMSTRONG SUBMARINE!
To Dr Clarke's and my knowledge, this makes it the only surviving Brit-made period sub in the world youtube.com/shorts/cwNF5...

Were those built in Barrow? If so, I think my granddad would have been involved in the design.

I don't really have much knowledge about Submarine's and such, but that museum sure looks interesting. Might want to pay a visit, when I'm in Finland

Much excitement! I'd (not surprisingly) never heard of this either - very exciting :) Bumping to the #NavalHistory feed :)

If I know one thing from watching Finnish detective shows, the Estonians are always up to no good. No wonder they grassed.

LOOK AT HER. LOOK AT HER BLUESKY! Clearly based on the U Class, but adapted for Baltic ops. That's an icebreaker bow (which makes her lines filth af) and she's rigged for minelaying above and below, hence the sidepods. Her tail is pure U though. I would marry this boat. She is utterly gorgeous.
