HMS U3

HMS U3 is a Swedish submarine preserved as a museum vessel in Karlskrona. The boat displays the layout and equipment of a 20th century underwater vessel, featuring narrow corridors, engine rooms, and torpedo systems that visitors can explore.

The submarine was built in the 1950s as part of the Swedish Navy and served to protect Swedish waters during the Cold War. It was later retired from service and is now a preserved reminder of that era.

The naval vessel stands as a testament to Sweden's maritime engineering traditions and demonstrates the country's commitment to naval technological advancement.

The submarine is accessible as a museum ship and allows visitors to explore the interior of a working military vessel. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the spaces onboard are tight and involve climbing stairs.

The submarine incorporated specific design elements that reflected the evolution of underwater military vessels in northern European naval forces.
