The whole exhibition is fantastic, especially if you're into military/naval history and is a half day well spent. If you're going to Portsmouth* Dockyard, make sure you buy a pass for multiple attractions (across multiple days). HMS Victory should also be on the must see list.
* Portsmouth, England (UK), in case there's any confusion.
