HMS Ocelot S17
Preserved at Chatham Dockyard, we take a tour around former Royal Navy 'O' or Oberon Class Submarine HMS Ocelot S17 on 28th October 2017. Built at Chatham, she was laid down in November 1960 and launched on 5th May 1962. Commissioned into the fleet on 31st January 1964, she was involved in any number of Cold War covert operations which are still classified as top secret almost 30 years later. Fully submerged, she has a displacement of 2410 tons and is powered by twin Admiralty Standard Range 16 VMS diesel generators which generate 2 × 3,000 shaft horsepower (2,200 kW) electric motors. With a top speed of 17 knots submerged (around 20 mph), HMS Ocelot's naval career concluded in August 1991 when she was preserved at Chatham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH9r0iJ_Beo
