The Ropery at The Historic Dockyard with its ¼ mile long Double Rope house is still being used as a working commercial factory today.
HMS Ocelot
HMS
Ocelot is an Oberon class diesel electric submarine. This was the last
submarine built in the Chatham Dockyard, launched on the 5th
May 1962 & commissioned on 31st January 1964, paid off in August 1991.
Visitors
to this submarine need to be happy in small enclosed spaces and agile enough to
get through the hatches between the compartments.

If you
visit the dockyard the Submarine & the Ropery are both must see tours, I recommend when you arrive
you book the two tours before you do anything else, you will need to have a
timed ticket to visit these two attractions & they are very popular.
