U-475 Black Widow, Soviet submarine museum in Strood, England

The U-475 submarine extends 91.3 meters in length and contains three diesel engines paired with three electric motors for propulsion.

Built at Sudomekh shipyard in Leningrad during 1966, this Foxtrot-class submarine served in the Soviet Baltic Fleet until its decommissioning in 1993.

The submarine displays the Ukrainian flag at its position on the River Medway, marking a connection between maritime history and current events.
