[edit] The Perisher

Theres no mention of ‘The Perisher’ i think thats what its called. the submarine command training.Corustar 13:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

The person who fails has his kit packed for him and is only told he failed when hes handed the bottle of whiskey and has to get on the boat. just need to add the bit about the kit.Corustar 16:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

....................... The initial info states that it was called the 'silent service' as boats had to hide from RADAR. Not true, they had to hide from ASDIC which later became known as SONAR. Passive SONAR listens for noise underwater. Active SONAR pings out a soundwave and listens for an echo from an object underwater. With RADAR you can make as much noise as you like, it will not affect the ability for RADAR to detect you and only then when on the surface or possibly at snorting depth. Keith Hallam.

[edit] Sir Arthur Wilson quote

I see that Sir Arthur Wilson is quoted twice although each quote is slightly different and there is no reference attached to either one. Does anyone know which is the correct quote? --Roisterer 02:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The site claims that the RN runs "It also operates the LR5 Submarine Rescue System ROV." but to my knowledge this capability has been sold off to a private concern and so the RN no longer maintains this capability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.244.67 (talk) 10:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
