Discovering the X-Craft Submarine

Welcome to a world of exploration

Our award winning centre provides visitors with information about submarines and how they work.

X51

X-CRAFT 'Dive Deep'
Immersive Experience.

X-CRAFT 'DIVE DEEP' is the story of the innovators and pioneers that led the way in the development of the submarines we know today. Submarines didn't start big, they started small and with each generation, from the days of Alexander the Great onwards, milestones in technology and understanding gathered momentum. This presentation recounts the lives and often tragic ends of the ingenious inventors that made it all possible.

X-51 Stickleback
Submarine AV Presentation

The X-Craft had a unique and daring role in the history of submarines and X51 Stickleback, the centrepiece of our exhibit, was part of that story. We use the latest laser projection technology to tell her story on our huge immersive screens and also on the submarine as well. You will learn all about the history of this facinating class of submarine and the brave submariners who crewed her. Come explore!
