Just off the frozen Elbe river, I managed to catch a glimpse of this ...

U-Boot 434, the Russian spy u-boat

Although it is not a German u-boat, I took a tour into this Russian Tango-Class u-boat in freezing water

And I can tell you forumers, this is one pressure tank you won't want to live in.

More photos coming soon as processing 100 over photos is a little bit slow.

Oooh Tango Class submarine!

Looks very confining.

Is the green sign tell the crew to smash themselves unto the floor. ^_^

Guys,

I visited the Australian sub HMAS Ovens SSG-70 on display at the the Western Aus Maritime Museum in Fremantle. I tell you....... big size like me or Pooh will feel very cramp inside those tin cans.

Our own sub later, I guess will be as small as this? You burp after a durian meal, will create an emergency situation :D in the whole sub! I pity those working in those sub but in the big boomers wah... sure plenty of space.

Now.. if I can still find those pictures in the sub......
