It is just a short walk from the car park to the entrance of the Memorial. The car park for the Naval Memorial is very well signposted, the price for the car park is reasonable. It is a 20-minute drive to Laboe from Kiel, a bit longer or shorter depending on how heavy the traffic is. I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to see the insides of a submarine, so we drove over. The offer was turned down but the Boat was saved by the German Navy League, DMB, where she became a museum ship at Laboe Naval Memorial in October 1971.Laboe with the Naval Memorial and the U-boat U-995 is located at the Firth of Kiel. She then was offered to the German government for the ceremonial price of one Deutsche Mark. In December 1952 U995 became the Norwegian submarine Kaura and in 1965 she was stricken from service by the Royal Norwegian Navy. She was surrendered to the British and then transferred to Norwegian ownership in October 1948.
