Frank van der Velde has arranged for us to visit the SAS Assegaai, the French-built, Daphne-class submarine that used to be the SAS Johanna van der Merwe and is now retired and on dry land. The trip will take you into the bowels of this unique ship and what you will see includes the crews’ quarters, the operation centre and the torpedo tubes.
NB: There are narrow passageways and steep ladders. Ladies are advised to wear trousers and flat shoes!
