VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA: S-56 Submarine

“S-51, S-54, S-55, S-56 submarines should make hidden passage from their bases to Polyarnoye through Panama Canal”. Executing the Naval People’s Commissar order, S-56 passed Haiti and Tortuga pirate islands and became the most efficient Soviet submarine participating in the World War II. The submarine was the first in Russia to go round the world. S-56 withstood explosions of more than 3,000 antisubmarine bombs. Nowadays the submarine is a showpiece of the Military Glory of the Pacific Fleet museum in Vladivostok. The original interior of a Soviet military submarine is restored in the fore body of the submarine. Exhibitions dedicated to Vladivostok defensive infrastructure are organized in the submarine stern part.
