German submarine U-31 (S181).
U-31 (S181) is a Type 212A submarine of the German Navy, and the lead ship of her class. U-31 was built by TKMS, with construction taking place at the shipyards of Thyssen Nordseewerke of Emden and Howaldtswerke at Kiel. Launched on 20 March 2002, U-31 was commissioned alongside her sister ship U-32 by German Minister of Defence Peter Struck in Eckernförde on 19 October 2005. U-31 is propelled by one diesel engine and an electric motor driven by nine fuel cells, making the submarine virtually undetectable. Korvettenkapitän Bert Petzold is the submarine's commanding officer.

The pumping station returned to steam after the long winter months with model submarines in the pond and on display, plus a craft fair, live music and children's play area. A good time had by all :)
