Former South African Navy Daphne-class submarine, the SAS Assegaai, was moved from the dockyard to the new annexe of the Naval Museum in Simon’s Town, on Thursday.
There were challenges with moving the SAS Assegaai that tested ‘the resolve of both the project team, Dockyard workers and Vanguard’. In addition, a new schedule had to be compiled due to the extreme weather in July that only added to the challenge. The submarine was eventually transported over a span of two days, on 19 and 20 July.
While the Navy had fully supported the project, all the necessary funding for the project was raised through the NHT. Once completed, and the SAS Assegaai declared safe, the submarine will be open to the public ‘before the end of the year’.
