HMS Cavalier is the only surviving British destroyer that took part in WW2.

She was laid down at East Cowes, Isle of Wight, in March 1943 and Commissioned into the Royal Navy in November 1944. She took part in three Arctic operations, before being dispatched to the Pacific Fleet, but the war ended before she saw action in that theatre.

After the war, she undertook a number of commissions in the Persian Gulf, the Far East and the Pacific. She was then decommissioned in 1972 and currently resides at the The Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent.

The Dockyard is easy to get to from Chatham town centre or railway station (5 minutes or so by bus or taxi or around a 25 minute walk). Once there, you are free to roam HMS Cavalier and HMS Gannet for as long as you like and you can also take one of the excellent guided tours of the submarine HMS Ocelot.

There's plenty more to see and do at the Historic Dockyard, you can easily spend the day there and I thought it was good value for money. You can book tickets online and there's a discount for Forces/ex Forces too.

Anyway, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video.
