SINGAPORE - The Singapore Navy Museum reopened on Saturday after its exhibition galleries were refreshed with new programmes to help visitors learn about the role of the navy in Singapore’s development.

The Challenger-class submarine was built in the 1960s and used by the Swedish Navy. It was later bought by the Singapore Navy and adapted to the tropical operating conditions. Mr Tan believes that visitors can even cycle to the museum, as it is connected to the Tanah Merah Coast Road, which has a dedicated on-road cycling lane.

The NS Gallery at Marina Bay, which is being built within the new NS Square, remains on track to be open by 2027, but Mr Tan qualified that this will depend on how the construction of the NS Square progresses.
