"Its a Foxtrot-class Russian submarine, the U475 owned by a small syndicate of enthusiasts. She is 300ft long and, in (worn) working order, now rejoices in the name the Black Widow. The sub had been moored alongside the pier at Folkestone as a tourist attraction but, with the pier up for sale, had found a temporary home in Strood on the Medway while awaiting confirmation of a permanent berth in Dublin."
