U-10, Submarine museum in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
Description
The submarine U-10, a Type 205 vessel, is a former German Navy warship now on display at the harbour. Visitors can walk through the interior and see the control room, engine section, and tight crew quarters.
History
The navy built the submarine in the late 1960s and operated it in northern Germany until the early 1990s. After decommissioning, it was converted into a museum vessel open to the public.
Culture

Practical
The visit involves climbing steep ladders and passing through narrow hatches, so sure footing is needed. Anyone uncomfortable in tight spaces can ask staff beforehand if a shorter tour is available.
