Oracle was built at the Cammell Laird Birkenhead yard and launched in 1961 and was an Oberon class submarine. This class were improvements over the earlier Porpoise class being made of higher grade steel, having a fibre glass conning tower and having a better equipment fit. The class was intended for anti-submarine operations but also carred out may special forces missions..

Nechung oracle in trance, delivering messages from the god Dorje Drakden. Although the god is usually summoned to enter the human medium's body by the Dalai Lama to answer questions for the Tibetan government, this occasion was commissioned by a group of monastics from south India - Sera Mey or Drepung, I think.
It is nearly impossible to get a "good" photo of the Oracle, because 1-he is moving, shaking and heaving the whole time, 2-flash photography and actually, any photography is discouraged, and 3-there are crowds of people shoving to get nearer to the medium. This was the only photo I got where you can clearly see his hands, the rice and so on. In all the others he is covered up by people seeking blessings and trying to decipher what he's saying.
