Summary

Description
English: The keel-laying ceremony for the HMS Resolution (S22) (which was a prefabricated section, not a traditional keel) in 1964.
Original caption: "
This is a keel? That's what they called it, for ceremonial purposes, when the Resolution, Britain's first Polaris submarine, was laid down at a Barrow-in-Furness, England, shipyard, this year. The "keel" consists of a prefabricated section of the submarine and weighs more than 100 tons. The Resolution is the first of five nuclear-powered Polaris submarines which Britain intends to build.
