The 19-metre-long and 76-tonne P-913 Zeta sabotage submarine is still one of the most attractive museum exhibits. This small so-called pocket submarine of the Una-class was one of six submarines constructed in Split in the 1980s with the purpose of enlarging the Yugoslav submarine fleet. After their construction, the Yugoslav Navy gained the fleet of commando submarines suitable for performing a number of tasks in specific conditions of the Adriatic Sea. Aside from the basic crew of four members, the submarine could also transport up to six submarine commandos as well as up to four underwater vehicles R-1 or naval mines.

The P-913 submarine is an extraordinary example of military technical heritage. Slovenian experts and the country’s industry greatly contributed to its construction as well. The submarine is also a monument to generations of Slovenian submariners who represented a substantial share of the Yugoslav Navy.

The life and work of submariners is presented by a special exhibition which surrounds the submarine. The former Yugoslav submarine can also be seen from the inside. This way, the visitors can learn about the mysterious world of the submariners. A prior reservation of a guided tour of the inside of the submarine is highly recommended.

Interesting, I did not know of these Slovic made submarines....   look quite roomy inside


But why do all Eastern Block submarines use Alfoil looking sheeting over the nose or the conning tower?

So you can't see the forward array? When you see Brit Subs at launch stage there's usually a big flag hiding the "Tubes"
