HMS Queen Liz will arrive in Portsmouth soon, says MoD

I'm pretty sure that...

I'm pretty sure that Admiralty will be issuing some chart updates soon as they've been dredging the main harbour entrance and inner and outer channels for quite a while now in preparation for these new carriers which will alter the LAT depths, as well as those for estimated MHWS and MLWS.

The dredging has entertainingly uncovered quite a lot of UXBs which have subsequently been blown up by Navy Ordnance in the remoter reaches of the Solent. One of them required Gunwharf Quays to be evacuated, but they should have just let it off in situ to be honest as it's pretty rubbish there.

I certainly wouldn't have wanted that to have had that drop on me during the war though as it certainly made a huge racket when they blew it up and I felt the resulting shockwave over 15 miles away.
