NEW SUBMARINE EXHIBIT & MORE AT REVAMPED NAVY MUSEUM
Got some time to spare during the June holidays? We give you a glimpse of what to check out at the Navy Museum, which has recently re-opened its doors!//Story by TEO JING TING //Photos by KENNETH LIN & COURTESY OF DEFENCE COLLECTIVE SINGAPORE (DCS)
For the first time ever, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) will showcase the equipment used by its stealthy submarines.
In particular, the public can get hands-on with two different consoles – the manoeuvring control as well as sonar – which were used in the RSN's Challenger-class submarine.
They will also be able to get a rare look at life on board these boats, including the tough training that the sailors had to go through.
In addition, visitors will be treated to a glimpse of artefacts from one of the RSN's very first ships – RSS Panglima.
From the propeller and the bell to the lamp, these historical items will be on display at the three-level revamped Navy museum from 17 Jun.
Take a tour with us of some of the museum's highlights:
