Why is a French Submarine Sitting in a Field in Malaysia? (Full Tour)

Good morning from Melaka! 🇲🇾 Today, I rode my bike 10 km out of the historic city and stumbled upon one of the coolest surprises of my entire Malaysia trip — a massive 67-meter French Agosta-class attack submarine sitting on dry land! In this video, I take you on a complete guided tour inside the FS Ouessant, a genuine retired French Navy submarine that was used to train Malaysian submariners before they received their own Scorpene-class subs. Walk with me through the torpedo room, tight sleeping quarters, control areas, periscope mechanisms, galley, engine room, and more. This place is packed with history, engineering details, and that classic claustrophobic submarine atmosphere (though I think I would be surprisingly comfortable in the bunks!). I also share the fascinating story of how this French vessel ended up in Melaka as a museum. Plus, stay until the end for a bonus practical guide with tips on visiting the Submarine Museum (ticket prices, parking, vending machines, facilities, etc.). If you love military history, unique travel spots, or just cool industrial adventures, this one is for you! 🔥 What surprised you most?
