Yep, at Woodside Ferry terminal:

I really wish they hadn't cut it up though, the U505 at Chicago looks far more impressive:

Wow, that Chicago website looks much more attractive!

 

Why did they cut up the one at Woodside? Haven't been or heard of it before.

The good news is very premature. There is no guarantee that the boats will be built in the UK. 

 

Archie Bethel, chief executive of Babcock, which led the bid team, told the FT both yards would “get a chance to bid” but the company “would not risk the programme”.

 

“We never guaranteed they would get any work, they are not expecting that,” he said.

 

Oh well.
