Simon: What other parts of the world did you visit with the submarines then?

Oh dear. Mediterranean was the first experience. Northern Aegean, Far East as Alexandria, Benghazi, Southern Mediterranean and then of course Gibraltar and a few ports in the Western Mediterranean.

And then in the Indian Ocean, we crossed the Indian Ocean twice, and we operated from Singapore.

From Singapore we went to Thailand, Philippines.

You really have to go there (laughs).
