AMBITIOUS COLD WAR MUSEUM PLAN UNVEILED FOR PLYMOUTH
11 September 2020
An ambitious ten-year plan has been launched to create a Cold War naval museum in Plymouth with the hunter-killer submarine HMS Courageous at its heart.
The Cold War Maritime Heritage Museum aims to give voice not just to the Silent Service, but also the surface fleet, RAF Maritime Patrol Aircraft and other units and formations who were in the thick of the action until the last days of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The museum, planned for the naval base’s historic South Yard as part of the city’s Oceansgate regeneration project, also intends to celebrate Plymouth’s rich naval history and the work of the dockyard to support ships and submarines, and dispel many of the myths around nuclear power.
