Read about the Submarine museum in Melaka so decided to have a look since I am interested in nautical stuff. The museum is located at Pantai Klebang area. Official website : http://www.perzim.gov.my/en/portfolio/muzium-kapal-selam/ Google map coordinates : https://www.google.com.sg/maps/place/Submarine+Museum/@2.2114913,102.1992464,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb0b6521d9bc8af2!8m2!3d2.2105036!4d102.1974447 Entrance fee was RM5. Never gotten the chance to visit the submarine in SG. So now is the chance to see a real submarine and the tight spaces inside. Not a very big submarine but sufficient to see the cramp quarters inside. There are two decommissioned fighter jets on site too. As you enter the bow, its the torpedo space. There are sleeping bunks above. Drivers seats. Dive dive dive!!!! Periscope stand, green in colour. Mess room Galley. Machinery control space Escape hatch. Newspaper cutting at the exit. Rear of the sub. Can see the exhaust nozzle.

Malaysia reportedly takes delivery of first submarine Posted: 28 January 2009 1415 hrs KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has taken delivery of its first submarine as part of a plan to establish a fleet of the vessels, according to the French company that built it. The Royal Malaysian Navy received the Scorpene submarine in the French port of Toulon and a second is scheduled for delivery in late 2009, French contractor DCNS said in a statement late Tuesday. It said the sub had completed its final sea trials in December, including the successful firing of torpedoes and missiles. The vessel's delivery again raised opposition claims that a 540 million ringgit (149.50 million dollar) commission was paid to a close associate of deputy premier Najib Razak in brokering the deal. The deputy premier, who is slotted to take over as prime minister when Abdullah Ahmad Badawi steps down in March, has denied any improper involvement in the deal when he was defence minister. But senior opposition leader Lim Kit Siang called on Malaysia's new anti-corruption commission to investigate the allegation. time to attach bikini and yoga manual on our sub torpedo liao
