The Assegaai Submarine Museum, Africa’s only submarine museum, will be moved to its new place of rest ashore in Simon’s Town in coming months. South African Navy vice admiral Monde Lobese said it was a noteworthy accomplishment. “That dream was to make sure that we as the South African Navy can have the first – and only – submarine museum on the African continent. “Once the Assegaai Museum is in place, she will be the 125th museum submarine in the world, but only the 7th in the Southern Hemisphere and the first one in Africa. Retired rear admiral Digby Thomson is one of several retired navy men who are assisting on the Naval Heritage Trust submarine museum project.
