HMS Cavalier Walk Through Tour 2018 | Chatham Historic Dockyard | 4k
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.

Chatham Dockyard, located on the River Medway and of which two-thirds is in Gillingham and one third in Chatham, Kent, England, came into existence at the time when, following the Reformation, relations with the Catholic countries of Europe had worsened, leading to a requirement for additional defences. For 414 years Chatham Dockyard provided over 500 ships for the Royal Navy, and was forefront of shipbuilding, industrial and architectural technology. At its height, it employed over 10,000 skilled artisans and covered 400 acres (1.6 km²). Chatham dockyard closed in 1984, and 84 acres (340,000 m2) of the Georgian dockyard is now managed as a visitor attraction by the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.

H.M.S Cavalier
HMS Cavalier is a retired C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by J. Samuel White and Company at East Cowes on 28 March 1943, launched on 7 April 1944, and commissioned on 22 November 1944. She served in World War II and in various commissions in the Far East until she was decommissioned in 1972. After decommissioning she was preserved as a museum ship and currently resides at Chatham Historic Dockyard.
Chatham Historic Dockyard is a maritime museum on part of the site of the former royal/naval dockyard at Chatham in Kent, South East England. Chatham Dockyard covered 400 acres and was one of the Royal Navy's main facilities for several hundred years until it was closed in 1984. After closure the dockyard was divided into three sections. The easternmost basin was handed over to Medway Ports and is now a commercial port. Another slice was converted into a mixed commercial, residential and leisure development. 80 acres, comprising the 18th century core of the site, was transferred to a charity called the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and is now open as a visitor attraction. It claims to be the world’s most complete dockyard of the Age of Sail.
World of Warships Press Event at Chatham Historic Dockyard
On October 1st, Wargaming invited the Press to Chatham Historic Dockyard in Kent to unveil World of Warships and announce the new German Cruisers and Soviet Destroyers. Since we were there anyway, I took the opportunity to get a look at the Oberon class Attack Submarine HMS Ocelot, the Victorian sloop HMS Gannet and the worlds' only surviving British World War II Destroyer, HMS Cavalier. Oh, and I looked at some PC game about ships too.
