German Navy decommissions 60% of its submarines

摘要

On 30 August 2010 the German Navy operated all six remaining class 206A submarines during a final tour at sea for the very last time under their own power in the Eckernfoerde Bight on the Baltic Sea. Never in history this large number of six German Navy class 206A submarines had operated together in one sea area. FGS U1S, FGS U16, FGS U17, FGS U18, FGS U 23 and FGS U24 conducted their final farewell tour to say goodbye to their homeport Eckernfoerde Naval Base, the personal and other ships and submarines of the 1st Submarine Squadron.
