Het jy ook onlangs die vreemde verskynsel van ‘n duikboot in die see in die Wes-Kaap opgemerk?
Dit het sosialemediagebruikers aan’t gons gehad oor watter duikboot dit is en waarom hy daar is.
‘n FiND iT-leser het die foto’s in Seepunt geneem en aangestuur.
Sover kon vasgestel word dat dit die SAS Manthatisi is.
FiND iT het kommentaar van die SAMW gevra.
Hier is ‘n kort geskiedenis van die duikboot soos deur Wikipedia beskryf:
SAS Manthatisi (S101) is a Heroine-class submarine currently in service with the South African Navy. SAS Manthatisi is named after the female warrior chief of the Batlokwa tribe. The Executive Mayor of Naledi Local Municipality and the godmother of the S101, Dr. Ruth Segomotso Mompati, announced the name of the submarine in 2006 at a ceremony in Simon’s Town.
Manthatisi was withdrawn from service in 2007 and placed in reserve as part of the SAN’s plan to maintain only two out of its three submarines in service. She began a refit in 2010, and re-entered service in October 2014.
Peter Flentov het die volgende plasing op The Atlantic Seabord Community Forum gemaak:
The SAS Manthatisi (S101), a Heroine-class submarine, seen cruising off Bantry Bay/Sea Point today.
I assume it’s one of the vessels involved in the joint South African/Russian/Chinese naval exercises that were held of the KZN coast recently.
