Loch Striven extends off of the Firth of Clyde just North of the Isle of Bute, where it forms a narrow inlet about {{convert|8|mi|km|abbr=out}} long extending North into the Cowal Peninsula. Laid up shipsDuring times of recession in shipping, the Sea Loch has been used as a sheltered anchorage for laid-up vessels such as large oil tankers.The Danish shipping company Maersk used the Sea Loch for cold layup of some of its vessels namely the b- class vessels in its fleet.[1] Also the (then) newly built LNG carriers MV Gastor and her sister ship MV Nestor were laid up here for many years, all the time from delivery from the shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique in 1976 until being sold 15 years later to Bonny Gas Transport in 1992 they were laid up here.[2] World War IIThe upper reaches of the Sea Loch, because of their secluded location, and their topographical similarity to Norwegian fiords, were used extensively for midget submarine (X-craft) training during World War II. The training programme was directed from HMS Varbel in Port Bannatyne to the South in the luxury Kyles Hydro Hotel, overlooking the Port, which was requisitioned by the Admiralty to serve as the HQ for midget submarine operations, including the top secret and audacious attack on the Tirpitz. Ardtaraig House, located at the head of Loch Striven, and similarly requisitioned by the Admiralty, became a secondary naval base for the 12th Submarine Flotilla midget submarines and became known as HMS 'Varbel II'.[3] References1. ^{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8127423.stm| title=Ships moored on loch during slump| publisher=BBC News| accessdate=20 October 2013| date=30 June 2009}} 2. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20131213122734/http://www.bluefunnel.myzen.co.uk/bluefunnel/gastor&nestor/gastor&nestor.htm Wayback archive page on mv Nestor & MV Gastor's history], visited 21 February, 2018 3. ^Bute at War External links
