HC Deb 22 June 1949 vol 466 c22W
60. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what he now proposes to do with the "Implacable."

Mr. Dugdale

It has been found impossible to continue to preserve this wooden ship without prohibitive expense and it has now been decided to sink her in deep water. Certain parts of the ship will be removed for preservation if examination reveals this to be practicable.
