The former headquarters of Seamanship Instruction (CIM) is emerging as the ideal environment to locate the submarine 'S-62 Tonina', which was decommissioned in 2005 and awarded by the Spanish Armada to the City of Cartagena, to serve as a reference and symbol of a city that has been the military submarine base in Spain.

Although the project for the CIM environment, which will be the new campus of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and the Museum of the Navy, was responsible for eight years Andrés Cánovas, the truth is that you have had stoppages and changes after passing through the courts.

At first, we thought the main street complete with reclaimed a place in which the submarine would be located on land, but the experience of Torrevieja, where they have placed the submarine at sea and so have visited, has led to Cartagena City Council has reconsidered the project so that it is considering applying the same formula to 'Tonina. "

According to the Mayor, Pilar Barreiro, if the result in Torrevieja is good, copy it, especially considering we want to Cartagena is known as the submarine base in the country, since, after all, is the only one there .
