While playing Soldiers I had the opportunity to go sailing which I happily undertook. The British Army Sailing was mainly done from a German Naval Base (Operational) at Kiel allowing access to the Baltic & the Danish Islands. On the outbound leg you went past the old U-Boat pens, Krupp Engineering plant & the War Memorial for the German Submariners.

The German Baltic Fleet above & below water still exercise in the area & it was quite unnerving to be followed in by a surfaced U-Boat or have them dodging between the Yacht fleet.
