HMS M.33 in her 1918 guise. She survived, serving a variety of needs and is being restored to her wartime condition. The ship is currently dry-docked at Portsmouth, next to HMS Victory.

I assume that includes HMS Belfast?

Also, I must recommend the Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent. Highlights are definitely HMS Cavalier, HMS Ocelot and an impressive collection of ships models...

I agree! The Historic Dockyard is a truly excellent museum :D. I particularly enjoyed the ropery - you should plan a visit during the week, when it is in opperation :)

HMS Menelaus, previously HMS Melpomene, previously HMS M.31. Menelaus served in the Torpedo training role. A single 18” torpedo tube is fitted on her forecastle. The remnants of her previous minelayer outfit are still visible.
