Photography is allowed on board, everywhere except places that are 'in use', ie the comms room, the engine room. You'll be able to get photos of the weapons systems and navigation systems, as well as the general interior of the ship. Bear in mind that lighting will be low, spaces will be cramped, and as such it's a challenge for any photographer. With my amateur skills, I've managed to get photos like https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4527704379&l=a99e17c546, https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4527684379&l=0da4a6ec60, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20mm_gun.jpg and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harpoon_Launcher.jpg the times I've been on board, and it'd not impossible to get wide-angle shots like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Akrotiri_Mole_wide.jpg. I have more lying around somewhere but have never bothered to upload them, as they're blurry and rubbish. I'll be going along with my dad (who reads Wikipedia but doesn't edit), but it'd be good to see a few Wikipedians drop by too.

No point - it's being decommissioned. Maybe something we can pull off at HMS Monmouth though, inside the wardroom?

HMS LiverpoolRight. Who's going to display - with permission - a QRpedia code on the ship?
