If you have kids with you and a vehicle to drive within Melaka, there is no harm in going there to take a look.Īnd since the museum is located in the Klebang area, you can stop by the famous original coconut shake for a refreshing break before moving on to the next place. There were two retired fighting jets displayed on the other side of the museum.įor just MYR5 per adult, the Melaka submarine museum was an eye-opener. The dummies in the various rooms gave me the creeps.
How did a platoon of marine soldiers squeeze into this tiny space for months? To survive in a submarine for an extended period, I believe the crew needs to be mentally very strong. I am not sure how modern-day’s submarines are. Can you imagine how the rest of the crew bunked in their quarters? The bedroom for the Commanding Officer is this small. The Mission of the USS Silversides Submarine Museum is to honor the men and women of the military, preserve military history and provide experiences that educate the public about past and present military history and technology. Since the submarine was constructed in 1978, we did not expect to see any modern computers used for navigating the surrounding waters.
#SUBMARINE MUSEUM FULL#
The first thing we saw once we entered the submarine was a room full of engines and equipment, and we could still smell a stale pungent smell typical of an engine room. In 2002, the government of Malaysia bought the submarine and used it as a training vessel from 2005 to 2009. At the end of Exit for Route 11, take a left-hand turn on to Route 82. From Hartford Take 84 East to Route 2 (New London/ Norwich Exit) and follow to Route 11. Built in 1978 by Arsenal de Cherbourg, the submarine was decommissioned in 2001. The Submarine Force Library & Museum is located at One Crystal Lake Road Groton, Connecticut 06340 From I-95, take Exit 86 and follow the USS Nautilus signs to the museum. The French Navy was the original owner of the submarine on display – the SMD Ouessant. The separate museum with the Navys first submarine brought a real historic perspective to this branch of naval warfare.
There are only six other submarine museums worldwide, namely in Japan, Russia, India, Gosport, Australia and Germany. Since there is one submarine museum in Melaka, we decided to take our family there to look. Have you stepped into a submarine before? Unfortunately, not us and I don’t think there are many opportunities to do so.
