Dungeness Lifeboat Station has a Shannon class lifeboat. The Morrell was named on 31 May 2014 by HRH Princess Royal. In 1940, the Dungeness lifeboat was one of 19 that took part in the evacuation of Allied troops from Dunkirk in northern France. We were lucky to see the lifeboat out of the lifeboat house when we visited as she had just had a wash and was drying in the sunshine.
EDIT.
I have edited and added the launching tractor of a Shannon class lifeboat at Hastings just along the coast I filmed in 2018
Continued Reflections from my World. 
Glad you were in the right place at the right time to see the Morrell.
