MYSTERY SHIP
07:30 - 17 May 2008
F e SHARPE (May 7) wants to know about the ongoing saga of HMS Plymouth. The latest edition of Warship World mentions that the MoD recently carried out a survey of the vessel: for whom, for what purpose and at whose expense? What was the result? I thought the MoD sold the ship to a preservation group years ago, so why was the taxpayer-funded MoD involved in the survey? Is it to try and persuade the public a nuclear submarine still owned by the MoD should be used as a tourist attractions at South Yard, albeit with its nuclear power unit removed - in other words, a phoney exhibit?
