Buried carriers in UK?

Fantastic information, But what about carriers where are they buried?
I can hardly go digging down old mine shafts.

I went for a job near Dartmouth in Devon some years ago with the local Council.

They told me that the site of one of their Recreation Grounds had been used after the First World War to store a number of surrended German Submarines. These docks or what ever they were had subsequently been used has a rubbish tip and filled in to make the current recreation ground.

The story was that these Submarines had been buried during construction and in more recent years the Council had refused a request from the German Navy to carry out an exploritory dig.

Quite what the truth is in this I do not know but it was the Councils Parks Manager which told me this story.

sounds about right, was watching a show about the dome in toronto and its built on a old rubish dumping ground recovered from the river.

also in san fran durring the gold rush 100s of ships made it to the city docks and never left. they are still there and the area was filled in and houses were built on top of them.

Rumor around the Civil War Round Table of Wilmington is that two or three twin-turret Monitors (Onondaga-class I think) were used to create a breakwater along the New Jersey shore of the Delaware River.

Back to the original post, I'd be happy to find a stash of 1/35 scale Tamiya carriers. . . .

Happy Hunting!
