Brilliant morning with a tour of HMS Victory including lots of gory detail about surgical procedures on board. Then onto HMS Warrior with demonstrations of how the guns were fired. Now eating lunch and have had many comments on how smart and well behaved the group is.

Portsmouth Trip
Some info about where the Explorers are staying this weekend:
HMS Bristol is the latest Royal Navy ship to be employed as a harbour training and accommodation
ship for the Royal Navy, Royal Navy Reserves, Cadet Forces and Youth Organizations.
Permanently berthed at Whale Island, the Ship remains in commission, has a Royal Navy
Commanding Officer and operates as a Department of HMS Excellent.
A Type 82 Destroyer of 7000 tons, and the seventh ship to bear the name, Bristol was laid down as
the first of her class, designed to escort aircraft carriers planned in the 1960s;she was the only one
built because the aircraft carriers were cancelled.
