Beschrijving voorzijde Above, we can see a representation of the NRP Espadarte, the Portuguese Navy`s first submarine, acquired in 1913. This submarine was built at the Laubeuf shipyards in France and represented a huge innovation at the time, giving the navy submerged warfare capabilities. Below, a modern submarine, probably of the Albacora class, showing the technological evolution over 75 years.
