HMS Dolphin Gosport Submarines Alongside Royal Navy Shore Establishment 2002 Photo Print

An aerial image of the former HMS Dolphin at Gosport in Hampshire captures the full layout of this historic Royal Navy shore establishment. Positioned at Fort Blockhouse, the site is shown from above, revealing its jetties, buildings, and coastal setting that supported decades of submarine operations. This perspective highlights the scale and importance of the base within the Royal Navy’s maritime infrastructure.

HMS Dolphin served as the home of the Royal Navy Submarine Service from 1904 to 1999 and was the location of the Royal Navy Submarine School. As a key training and operational establishment, it played a central role in developing submarine capability and preparing crews for service beneath the sea, forming a vital part of Britain’s naval defence.

Some images in our collection are over 100 years old. While we use advanced digital restoration techniques to enhance clarity and detail, certain prints may not match modern photography standards. We ensure every image is presented at the highest quality possible while preserving authenticity.

• Are your images adjusted or cropped?
  Depending on the image, we may need to crop or resize slightly to get the best result. Our framers use their experience to choose the most visually pleasing option, which can occasionally mean a slightly different frame shape to the preview shown. Either way, the finished product will always be the size you selected, or larger, never smaller.
• Is the mount colour always the same?
  We provide a bright white mount as standard. If you'd like a different colour, please contact us.
• Do you offer other frame styles?
  Yes, we have hundreds of frames available. Website limitations mean we can't list them all, so if you have a particular colour or style in mind, please get in touch and we'll talk you through the options.
• Do you have images other than those shown on the website?
  No, all of our available images are shown on the site, though we add new ones regularly.
• Can I buy a digital file (JPG or PNG) to print at home?
  No, sorry, we're unable to supply digital image files.
