Prince William secretly spent 24 hours underwater on a nuclear submarine. The 25-year-old Prince was taking part in a clandestine Royal Navy exercise based on hunting down an enemy submarine and sinking it.
He submerged on HMS Talent, a T-Class hunter-killer submarine off the coast near Plymouth, and spent a night on board earlier this week.
During the exercise he spent time in the submarine’s control room and saw the torpedo room where cruise missiles are kept.
When the exercise was over the Prince was dramatically winched to shore by a Sea King helicopter.
Later this summer he will play a front line role in the war against the international cocaine trade, serving for five weeks on the Type 23 frigate HMS Iron Duke.
On board the Prince will share a two-berth cabin, measuring 11ft by 7ft, with another young officer and be woken at 6.30am. He will only be allowed occasional calls home to girlfriend Kate Middleton.(via The Telegraph)
