| HS Matrozos as seen from the fast attack craft Degiannis |
The third warship that I visited on Friday, October 27 (see previous post here), which was opened to the
public at Piraeus harbor due to the forthcoming celebration of Ohi Day
(anniversary of the "No"), was a Papanikolis class submarine, the HS Matrozos. Submarine Matrozos was
commissioned in March of 2016 and it is the third vessel in the
class. The four 65-meter vessels of the Papanikolis class (Type 214HN) submarines, are equipped with air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, and are the
most modern and advanced submarines in service with the Hellenic Navy and some of the most advanced submarines in the world today! The Papanikolis class is indeed the pride of the modern Hellenic Navy. Enjoy some photos from my visit!
