The unique SA-51 submarine that adorns the Ronda de Dalt was a gift from the Ministry of Defence to the Museu de la Ciència de Barcelona, now CosmoCaixa, in 1986.

  • Cultural heritage

SA-51, also known as assault submarine 51, came to Barcelona as part of an exhibition on submarines held here in 1986. This Shark-class submarine was built in Cartagena, Spain by the Bazán company. Engineers gave it a complex hydrodynamic shape visible at the stern, to enable rapid submersion and improve its navigation on the surface. For all its sophisticated military engineering, it never saw combat.

Observacions

Conegut popularment amb el nom de Tauró, el submarí provenia de l'armada, i va ser cedit pel Ministerio de Defensa al 1986. Tot i que durant una època se'l va poder visitar, actualment es troba a l'exterior del Cosmocaixa, al costat de la ronda de Dalt.
