National Museum of the Royal Navy

We arrived on a sunny day with a slight breeze so that was good. We bought our tickets online for £31 each. You can park just around the corner for £7 , there's a co-op there so it's worth getting a few drinks and sandwiches if you want.
After having our bags checked we went to the submarine museum across the water using the water bus which is included in the price -great!.
We then did the various museums, toured Victory -great, had ice-cream (£2 for cone is fair)
We also saw the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier- not part of the museum yet though!
After a break we then walked around Warrior , great , we really enjoyed it .
We'd recommend it 👍

Great experience well worth a visit to much to see in one day so we got a year's ticket all the staff are very helpful and very friendly

Some very interesting things in this museum covering aspects of the conflicts GB has faced over the years.

How can you put on a display of the history of the royal navy in only a few rooms? It was clearly difficult but they have included plenty of interesting and detailed exhibits and it occupied is for an hour or so. There was some good interactive exhibits which were fun.

Poor, no atmosphere, with no Falklands 40th anniversary display. What was there had date errors i.e. 3rd May, when it should be 3rd April 1982.

OMG. If you are looking for a Xmas present that keeps on giving then this as a part of the Portsmouth Dockyard experience is a gift which keeps on giving. You can go back as many times as you want within the year. Believe me you need to as you cannot do it all within a couple of days.

One half of the museum is given over Admiral Lord Nelson with large numbers of artefacts as well as a biopic of his life and a timeline depicting both his private life and military career.
The other part gives a broad perspective of the Navy down the ages from sail right through to the modern day with a fashionable and current nod to the environment.
Every genre of type of display is on show from missiles to bloody models depicting shore raids in the 1800's.
The human touch is very much in evidence from various live testimonies and lists of casualties suffered again another sobering experience contained within the dockyard.
Time well spent and I say it from a "Pongo" point of view although I'm not so sure of the Naval ratings "going out gear"

Great place to visit far too much to do in one day so multiple visits required. Staff very knowledgeable and happy to chat to you about the area you are in. Food a bit pricey but to be expected and a good variety on offer. Loved the Victory ship audio tour very immersive and dramatic abd informative just takes a while to take it all in so allow plenty of time.
