history

U 1 of class 205 in sea shortly after commissioning in 1967

The 1st submarine squadron (1st UG) was set up on October 1, 1961 in Kiel. It was initially subordinate to the amphibious group before it was placed under the newly established submarine flotilla on November 1 .

On March 21, 1962, the submarine U 1, which had been in service the day before, was placed under the 1st UG as the first post-war new building. U 2 followed in May 1962 . The former Merkur clearing boat served as a backup boat . After the construction of the class 201 boats failed, both boats were decommissioned and the squadron received eleven class 205 boats between 1962 and 1969 .

In 1964 the two submarine tenders Lahn and Lech were put into service at the 1st basement . Lech was decommissioned in 1966 and assigned to the reserve flotilla. In the same year, Mercury was eliminated.

As part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr on August 29, 2013, the submarine training center (AZU) was subordinated to the 1st submarine squadron. With the arrival of U 36s, six submarines have been available to the Navy since October 2016 . However, due to various damage and a lack of spare parts, none of the six boats were operational in October 2017.
