ALLIANCE - Periscopes Removed - in a £6.75m revamp for preserved 67 year old Patrol Submarine ALLIANCE both periscopes from the submarine were removed as part of the revamp underway.    The 40ft scopes have not moved on the boat since the submarine was decommissioned in 1973.   ALLIANCE is on display at the RN Submarine Museum in Gosport.     The two 40ft scopes – one general, one attack – are due to be lifted from the hull and both will undergo a complete overhaul by Babcock in Faslane, and will returned in good working order.
