A submarine passed south down the Sound of Mull shortly after one o'clock this afternoon with a strong southwesterly behind her - she's shown passing Ardmore Point light. As would be expected, she was unmarked, and didn't appear on the AIS. Has anyone any idea what she might be?
Norwegian Ula Class Patrol Submarine possibly?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew - Many thanks for the identification. I've just looked at some photos of Ula class submarines on Google, and they have the 'indent' at the back of the conning tower as seen in this photo. Jon
ReplyDeleteUnderwater all the way from Norway then surface in the Sound just to see Hughie's pigs. Famous or what!
ReplyDeleteI think it might be Russian, they will be checking out our naval defences for invasion after independence day.
