"A ship that's built to withstand shell fire is no pushover in the breaker's yard."
Alan Whicker reports on the fate of obsolete naval warships, which are lying in bays around the country waiting to be scrapped or sold. Among this "scrap iron armada" is the Leviathon - a mammoth £6 million aircraft carrier - that has never sailed. It was abandoned, approximately 80 percent complete, in 1946 after the war ended.
Clip taken from Tonight, originally broadcast on BBC Television, 19 March, 1962.
