Silent and Secret
A new exhibition looking at the personal accounts of those serving onboard Britain's at-sea nuclear deterrent
The National Museum of the Royal Navy presents a fascinating look at the personal accounts of those serving onboard at the heart of the Royal Navy Submarine Service.
Hear stories from those who were submerged at sea for a three month patrol; the inevitable isolation from everyday life and the power of teamwork when in a state of constant readiness. Their stories will be told through personal accounts and key objects at this brand new exhibition at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.
Hidden stories about Polaris submarines
Life under the sea poses challenges that go unseen and unheard. The exhibition will present an insight into life on board the "Silent & Secret" Polaris submarines, using personal accounts and key displays drawn from a number of National Museum of the Royal Navy sites, private lenders and other museums.
As featured in ‘The Guardian’
