DELFINEN class Springer Submarine - workshop area
The SPRINGEREN was armed with eight torpedoes which could be fired through/planlaeg-dit-besoeg/360-virtuel-tur four 53 cm bow torpedo tubes. During the two World Wars the commander of a submarine had to aim with the boat, when firing torpedoes. It was a difficult operation where the speed of target as well as the speed of the torpedo had to be taken into consideration. The SPRINGEREN was supplied with a so-called TCI-firing-system – a wire guided system, by means of which the torpedoes could be guided en route and fired at a considerably longer distance. Her crew consisted of 33 men: 8 officers and 25 petty officers and sailors. To give our guests an impression of the life on board a submarine, all the technical installations on board the SPRINGEREN have been preserved with the exception of the 224 batteries (weighting 100 ton). The illusion of being in an operational submarine is supported by a soundtrack of the noise and communication normally occurring in a submarine. Every 15 minutes the diving alarm is sounded, the lights are extinguished, and the red night lighting is turned on.
