Exhibition of the 1st Corvette Squadron opens on 16/09/2021
On Thursday 16 September 2021 at 10 a.m., the 1st Corvette Squadron will open a regional exhibition in its Home base Hohe Düne. On around 300 square metres, visitors can learn a lot about the different professions and fields of work in the crew of a K130 corvette.
More than a video game: ship simulator
"The exhibition aims to bring everyday life on board to life. To this end, we are showing films about life on board, a model of our corvettes and their weapons. Numerous stations invite visitors to join in and try things out for themselves," says the main organiser and head of the collection, Lieutenant Captain Yannick Renken (30). "One of our biggest highlights is a simulation game: Here, guests can steer the arrival and departure of a corvette in the home harbour themselves. Visitors can also take a virtual tour with VR goggles to experience life on board up close," the naval officer continues.
Interested parties will also have the opportunity to listen to interviews with experienced soldiers to find out more about the UNIFIL mission and the associated challenges. Another key topic is the deployment of the 1,800-tonne corvettes as surface warfare units for national and alliance defence. A special experience for outsiders is the original loudspeaker announcements made by the crew on board.
Illustrative models can be viewed
The regional exhibition will be opened by the commander of the corvette squadron, Frigate Captain Florian Feld (46). "I am proud to be able to open such a great exhibition, even if we unfortunately have to do so on a small scale for the time being due to the current situation. As soon as the situation eases, all interested parties are of course very welcome," says the frigate captain.
The exhibition will be open on weekdays and can be visited by prior appointment. Exhibition venue: Rostock Naval Base, Hohe Düne 30, 18119 Rostock (address for your navigation system). For further information or enquiries, please contact [email protected]
