0 Euro - Technik Museum - U-BOOT KLASSE 206A

The Type 206A was a Cold War-era coastal submarine operated by the Bundesmarine, designed specifically for the shallow, mine-laden waters of the Baltic. Thirty-three were built between 1971 and 1975 at Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft in Kiel, with the class later upgraded under the 206A program to extend service life into the 1990s. Their non-magnetic steel hulls were a genuine engineering priority, reducing vulnerability to influence mines.
