Diving shipwreck HMS Whirlwind near Cardigan, West Wales

This ship was being used as a practice target up until 1974 by the British military, when it sank accidentally in a storm. The dive starts amidships on the starboard side where a large hole reveals the engine room. The ship is lying on its port side. The dive continues along the deck to the bow, then finishes back at the broken off stern section with the rudder and propeller shaft support bearings poking up from the hull.
