Yesterday to celebrate my birthday with an outing and to go somewhere where the kids would be happy we chose the Royal dockyards at Chatham. It is a big place with a couple of ships and a submarine to walk around, but it was sadly quite empty with not enough for young children and too much aimed at the old boys who might have fought on the ships and submarine. To survive as a museum you suspect they are going to have to target a different generation. Those who actually served or spent time in the navy in action are a dwindling minority.
