South African Submarines

Born 18th March 1969. Submarine Flotilla established with SAS Duiker (Cdr C.J. Botha) in Toulon as its... first base. Later falling under SAS Drommedaris (Hugo Biermann) What a privilege to be a Submariner. Only when we all finished a very thick task book and passed the dreaded walk through, can you be eligible to go on and be issued with a Submarine badge and a very unique number. As of 2014 03 18 only 1096 South African Submariners exist in this world , (some have passed, “RIP”) a very small percentage of this country that can say they are qualified to drive a SUBMARINE. (I salute you all and let us all stick together)
