One of the places in England that the Oldies liked best is Portsmouth. Here is one of their photos of the entrance to Portsmouth harbour. You can see that the entrance is fairly narrow and has forts on each side of the harbour mouth. The big white thing is the Spinnaker Tower. You get great views of the harbour and the historic dockyard from the tower's observation deck. Dad was a bit wobbly when they went up the tower. It has a glass floor in one place and he just wouldn't walk across it. Portsmouth is the main naval base in Britain and you can lots of warships there. In fact it has been the main navy port for centuries, since Roman times. You can see some famous ships here in the historic dockyard, "Warrior", "Victory" and "Mary Rose" among them. I will show you some of these later.
