Back in 1993 we were involved in a Regatta in the Kieler Bucht heading to Denmark. Kiel is pretty much the home of the German Navy & in particular their Submarine fleet. The Yacht club was based inside the Base & we sailed out past the U-Boat pens, no issues.
At the same time there was a major NATO Naval exercise going on, Submarine Hunter/Killer teams were patrolling & the Navies had to locate them. Involved were the British, French, German & Danish Navies, not only did we sail through but various other Yachtsmen & women, not a peep. The only time we were herded was when a Sub had been detected & it was about to make an emergency breach to the surface, we were shepherded out of the danger area.
On our return leg we were followed in by a Sub with just its conning tower sticking out of the Sea, a rather awe inspiring & intriguing sight & again not a peep from anyone. Sometimes there really are just genuine reasons for certain things.
