Fodor's Review:

At 613 feet, this is one of the largest and most powerful cruisers the Royal Navy has ever had. It played an important role in the D-Day landings off Normandy, left for the Far East after the war, and has been moored in the relative calm of the Thames since 1971. On board there's a riveting interactive outpost of the Imperial War Museum, which tells the Royal Navy's story from 1914 to the present and shows you about life on a World War II battleship, from mess decks and bakery to punishment cells, and from operations room to engine room and armaments. At this writing, a major new interactive exhibition on the science and history of shipbuilding is due to run until at least October 2010.
