Image gallery

As there is now a photograph of the SETT at Sub-Base Peal Harbor, perhaps the three towers that we have images for should be in an {{image gallery}}?

That would leave the divers as lead image and the top of the RN SETT below it. Any thoughts? --RexxS (talk) 00:11, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

seems like a reasonable approach.©Geni 18:51, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That looks great. Let me know if I need to send an email out looking for photos of the others to build the gallery. Thanks! --Gene Hobbs (talk) 21:10, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Submarine Escape Training Tower → Submarine escape training facility –

The title ought to be lowercase for the generic concept, caps for proper nouns/named sites. Tower, or tank, isn't the best word, unless it's known every facility is housed in a tower or a tank. XLerate (talk) 08:13, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - looks like a no-brainer to me. If there are no objections within the next 24 hours, I will move it. – ukexpat (talk) 18:35, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The article began as a specific facility (the SETT in Portsmouth), but as it has now been expanded to cover other facilities, sentence-case should be more appropriate for the current article title. As it happens, all the facilities are towers and tanks (unless someone can find one that isn't - if you'll pardon me reversing your logic). Nevertheless that shouldn't be a bar to renaming the article. --RexxS (talk) 23:16, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updating of Royal Navy section

The facility at Fort Blockhouse is no longer in use by RN, although the building itself remains intact:
https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2020/january/09/200109-end-of-gosport-escape-tower
I think some of the tenses need updating in that section. Also the link to official RN page is dead:
https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/operations-and-support/establishments/naval-bases-and-air-stations/hmnb-portsmouth/submarine-escape-training-tank
Replacement section could be added for new facility at Faslane:
