Grant awarded to HMS Ocelot
The Submarine Family and Friends of the RN Submarine Museum have each made grants of £5750 to Chatham Historic Dockyard for improvements to HMS OCELOT in this, the 60th year since OCELOT was launched.
The money will be used to improved Interpretation of Mess Areas (including development of replica equipment where original equipment is no longer available):
- · Replacement of bunks
- · Improvements to flooring
- · Improvements to lighting and gauges
- · Replacement of equipment
- · Introduction of soundscape
HM Submarine OCELOT has been in the care of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust for over 20 years and she remains one of the most popular attractions as part of the wider Heritage site. They currently deliver the experience of going onboard a submarine through a guided tour that lasts approximately 30 minutes. This gives a flavour for life onboard as well as the opportunity to experience the space itself.
