An unusual visitor !

I was sitting at the PC when I noticed an unusual small black shape way out in Mount's Bay in between the ships at anchor - I looked through the scope and saw it was a submarine - not seen one in Mount's Bay before.
Mystery solved by Mike - it was   HNLMS  Walrus-class boat (Dutch navy) Thanks Mike !
You can spot some of the crew out on deck forward of the conning tower
Passing 295m long  Pacific Argosy she looks quite small

      I'm obviously not observant enough ! They must have to be very careful with so much shipping (and yachts !) around the coasts !

Have had to add the word verification as I am getting lots of obscene messages in the comments
