It has had an extensive refit, with lashings of Oak fittings, Marble worktops, crystal torpedo tubes and the periscope images are now relayed via 3 50 inch plasma screens situated throughout.</p> <p>A spokesman for Cunard stated: "With air travel so under threat, we aim to offer a holiday alternative, be it parking your car on an Aircraft carrier deck and watching in awe as it is taken below on hydraulics. Or you can dive in a Trident submarine where there are no balconies, or outdoor games areas, but a very speedy way of getting to the beach (Via purpose built beachpedos) that get you there in the lap of luxury."</p> <p>The new Naval Gazing range of holiday experiences are available now through all good travel agents, and Navy recruitment offices. </p>
