    Several computers and associated peripherals and control panels have
    been rescued from the Cook Building at MoD Southwick Park (formerly HMS
    Dryad) which has been decommissioned.

    Cook Building was home to several Royal Navy training suites where
    personnel underwent tactical warfare training on type 22 and type 23
    frigates and type 42 destroyers.

    Some of the computers used to feed emulated data to the training suite
    were designed in the late 60's and were fully operational right up until
    the closure in July 2011.
