    One of the ships that was demolished at the ABLE yard was the 'Simon Lake', which served as the USN Nuclear/Polaris fleet tender in the Holy Loch on the firth of Clyde for a period in the mid/late 60's. I think three other 'reserve fleet' hulks were also broken up in the same contract.

    The Ussn Canopus, was a submarine depot ship. She was based in the Holy Loch for a number of years, servicing the American Polaris submarines.
