THE RUSSIAN SUBMARINE, U-475 BLACK WIDOW, MEDWAY
Also known as Foxtrot B-39 by NATO this submarine prowled the worlds oceans for 27 years, it was built in 1967 and was in active service until 1994.
The submarine arrived in London in 1994 under command of its Captain Vitalij Burda who had commanded the ship for 23 years. It stayed at Long’s Wharf, Thames barrier, as a museum until 1998 when it was moved to Folkestone. It was open in Folkestone until 2004 when it was moved to the River Medway in Rochester. It is currently waiting to be re-homed and hopefully opened to the public again. Unfortunately the submarine is listing to the side as there is a hole, submarine specialists have been called over from America hopefully will be able to fix this problem soon.
