The Royal Naval Submarine Museum Gosport allows you to trace the history of submarine development from the age of Alexander the Great to the present day. The submarine tour starts with a film show showing the history of the Submarine service followed by a guided tour of HMS Alliance. You can then visit the Holland 1, the Royal Navy's first submarine, which is under conservation in her tank. You can then take a look at the X24 and LR3. There are torpedoes, guns and missiles to see.

You can look through the periscopes of HMS Conqueror towards Portsmouth Harbour. There is even an opportunity to be a Captain in the trainer control room. There are galleries telling about the history of the submarines and how nuclear physics drives today's submarines.

There is a gift shop and picnic area as well as a restaurant. The museum has a water bus stop which links Portsmouth with the museum. There is a remembrance corner which commemorates those who gave their lives to the submarine service. It includes their medals and tells of how 14 Victoria Crosses were awarded. A visit to the historic ships of Portsmouth is not complete with out a visit to the Navy’s under water fleet.
