HM Submarine OCELOT has been in the care of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust for over 20 years and she remains one of the most popular attractions as part of the wider Heritage site. They currently deliver the experience of going onboard a submarine through a guided tour that lasts approximately 30 minutes. This gives a flavour for life onboard as well as the opportunity to experience the space itself.
