On the 15th March, 1983, HMS Warspite returned to her base at Faslane, after an 111-day patrol off the Falklands - stated to be. the longest ever made in peacetime by a British submarine. With a 110-man crew, her Commanding Officer, Cdr J G F.. Cooke, said the only things left in the submarine's deep freeze were 'three herrings and two lemons'.
