The last shore leave of U17 - a successful roll-off in Haßmersheim

What an exciting morning! Our submarine was now on the water for the very last time. Accompanied by former submariners, many onlookers and the U17 transport team, the 350-tonne colossus finally came ashore in the early hours of the morning. It was an impressive sight as the pontoon was positioned across the Neckar and the 30-axle low-loader carefully drove under U17. U17 was then lowered, secured, made ready for departure and parked. A great moment for everyone involved! With this marvellous action, the water transport for U17 is now officially finished.
