International Submariners Congress 2022 Karlskrona Sweden This Congress was delayed for two years due to the Covid Pandemic which affected a lot of member countries who couldn’t attend but it was very nice to greet a first time attending member from Ecuador. Sweden made us very welcome at the Scandic Hotel where people were staying and registration was held. We all received souvenirs and plans for the four day event, great atmosphere and a time to meet old friends. In the City Hall an introduction by local government and then lecture given by SAAB about its history and future defence of the country and world also the Orchestra performed. Later a reception to meet up with each other for champagne and canapes. Karlskrona being a small island with a base for the Swedish Navy had a very large Naval Museum with exhibits going back centuries up to modern times. Buffet lunch was provided after walking around the museum and then a bus tour was organised to introduce us to the island. The next day we visited the Church to pay our respects to absent friends and listen to a performance given by The Royal Swedish Naval Orchestra, we were all very impressed by the drum and bugle solo’s. Buffet lunch was organised in the Naval Officers Club which itself had a long history. The plan continued with a boat and buffet trip with commentary to introduce Naval Heritage sites and we visited Drottningskar Castle built in the late 16th century. Final day which seemed to go around quick as everyone was enjoying themselves. Gala night was held for the swapping of memory presents and then passing over the ISA Column to Greece for the next meeting in Heraklion Crete May 2023. Can’t wait for the next meeting and might be nice if some new members joined us.
