The German Polish border divides Usedom Island. Sitting on the Baltic Sea it\u2019s locally known as Berlin\u2019s Bathtub as this is where many Berliners holiday in summer. Our destination is Peenem\u00fcnde in the far north-west corner of the island. The sailing club\u2019s stellplatz is pretty basic but it\u2019s an easy walk to everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned earlier Joy and Johannes from Western Australia recommended a visit, so we go exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first stop is the U461 Museum<\/a>, we pay our \u20ac6.50 pp and climb on board. Why it\u2019s called U461 is beyond me. This former submarine of the old Soviet Union, its designation was K24, entered service in 1965 spending most of its service in the North Atlantic, being decommissioned in 1991. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the usual torpedoes etc, K24 carried 4 continental cruise missiles. That\u2018s the launcher slightly raised mid-ships. Its crew of 78 shared 3 toilets a one shower. The life of a submariner !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
