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. We use immersive 360 projection and audio to provide an entertaining learning experience about the exploits of the submarine service and the people involved. We also run a variety of events and performances throughout the year.

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!
