Hara Submarine Base is a former Soviet submarine facility on Estonia’s Juminda Peninsula. At the height of the Cold War, hundreds of personnel worked at the base and it was one of only a handful throughout the entire USSR sophisticated enough to carry out the complicated procedure of submarine demagnetisation, officially known as degaussing. The base remained operational until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991. More information about Hara Submarine Base.
