Hafengeburtstag 2012
As usual the "white swan of the south atlantic"...
... The Cap San Diego
Here you see the Tug boat Karl Moritz and the Alexander von Hubold 2
A croud of potential terrorists 😉
But fortunately for me, I didn't have to waint for a long time to get aboard.
The bow of the Sachsen
Cap San Diego seen from the Sachsen
Looks like a Do 28
The gun of the Sachsen, in the right corner you can see HMS Defender
I was surprised how big the Defender was compared to the Sachsen
HMS Defender...
... and its 4.5 inch gun
The Hangar of the Sachsen
And aboard HMS Defender. They also brought a Mini with them
Here you can see some other military ships and some of the scenery of Hamburg
Inside of Defender's Hangar
Some information about Defender
Its Crest
More information
You could find these almost everywhere, to remeber the crew damage control is vital
A plate of other ships which were named Defender
I must say the crew was one of the calmes I've ever meet. Not to mention the americans in Kiel which were pointing machineguns at the visitor
Me holding a L85 A2 rifle
Of course the guns were not loaded, but there were soldiers patroling with loaded weapons.
The crowd onboard Sachsen
Bridge of HMS Defender
Defenders 4.5 Inch gun
And a practice round. The crewmen there was very kind. He explained me a lot about the new ship
The "usual criminals" the tall ships
A Sea King of the Bundeswehr closing in
And then it's gone
Me next to the 4.5 inch gun
HMS Defender
A ferry
The crew was also explaining how they fight a fire and which equipent they use
The Radar of HMS Defender
And something I don't know
One of the sailingships was leaving the harbour?
This is a pneumatic wrench, the crew of HMS Defender uses it to open doors during a fire
Some of the smaler vessels
And some of the scenery in our harbour
Sachsen and Defender
The Cap San Diego
One of the Junkers 52 in flight
Meet the worst choir in the history of Hamburg...
Me at the end of a long day - my feet were killing me
The Bismarck memorial. A shame it's in such a bad condition
And another vehicle I've seen on my way home
