Springeren
Springeren is a submarine from the 1960s now serving as a museum ship in Aalborg. The hull measures 54 meters long and 4.7 meters wide, with two propellers and a snorkel for underwater operation.
The submarine was launched in April 1963 and officially joined the Danish Navy in October that year. It served until 1989 and was part of a Danish-American program to replace older vessels.
The submarine name comes from the Danish word for jumper and belonged to the DELFINEN class built for shallow waters. Visitors walking through the narrow interior see where sailors lived and worked during the Cold War era.
The vessel sits near Aalborg harbor and is open to visitors year-round. You can walk through narrow passageways on board and explore compartments where the crew once worked.
The submarine could dive to a depth of 100 meters during peacetime and up to 200 meters in wartime. It was one of the last of its type built in Denmark and carried no guns, designed instead for operations below the surface.
