Submarine Museum, Naval museum in Klebang, Malaysia.
Description
The Submarine Museum in Klebang houses a decommissioned French Agosta-class submarine that visitors can board and explore inside. The vessel was later converted for training purposes before becoming a museum.
History
The submarine arrived in Malaysia in 2005 and served the Royal Malaysian Navy as a training vessel for new crews until 2009. It was then converted to a museum and opened to the public.
Culture
The museum shows how submarines operate in daily naval service and what role they play in maritime defense. Visitors can see how the crew lived and worked on board.
Practical
The museum sits directly on the waterfront in Klebang and is easy to reach with clear signage on site. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since entering the submarine involves narrow stairs and low ceiling openings.
Did you know?
The submarine weighed around 1300 tons and had to be transported on a specially built floating platform over several weeks from France to Asia. This journey was a logistical feat for that era.
