Dutch Navy submarine Zeeleeuw in Öresund

The Dutch Navy submarine HNLMS Zeeleeuw and the Danish Navy remote controlled mine clearance vessel msf 4 met early this morning in Öresund. (Here the msf 4 was not operating in the remote control mode!)

"HNLMS Zeeleeuw (S803) is a Walrus-class submarine of the Royal Netherlands Navy. She entered service in 1990 as the first submarine of the walrus class, after the HNLMS Walrus was delayed for a long period following a serious fire during construction.[1] Zeeleeuw has been deployed both for naval exercises and in combat operations around the world. Furthermore, the submarine plays an important role by performing intelligence operations.[2] The submarine has undergone a mid-life maintenance and upgrade program between 2014–2016, and is currently in active service."
