history
On 4 December 2003 baptized , U was 32 and his sister boat U 31 on 19 October 2005 by Defense Minister Peter Struck in the presence of the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Wolfgang E. Nolting , in Eckernförde put into service. Like all submarines, it belongs to the 1st submarine squadron of the operational flotilla 1 .
U 32 set a record on April 26, 2006 by being the first conventionally powered submarine (without nuclear power ) to remain under water for two weeks without a break. This long stay is made possible by the fuel cell drive of the submarine. It also has a non- cavitating propeller , which makes the journey even quieter and more difficult to locate .
In February 2013, U 32 crossed the North Atlantic with the Tender Main (A 515) to take part in the US maneuver Westlant Deployment .
Sponsorship
The city of Edenkoben took over the sponsorship for the submarine .
