    The USN P22 is a historic patrol boat originally built by the United States in 1952 during the Cold War and later transferred to the German Navy. Now managed by the USN P22 Trust, the gunboat is moored at Sandwich Quayside in Kent and serves as a floating museum and visitor centre1. Visitors can take guided tours, both on the River Stour and on board, giving a glimpse into life for the crew during the Cold War. The P22 is a unique piece of maritime history and offers a fascinating insight into the military and nautical heritage of the era.

    Sandwich Quay is now home port for a unique maritime attraction – a working gunship from the Cold War era.

    Open to visitors by pre-arrangement, the P22 is the only example still afloat of a fleet of 23 such ships that patrolled the River Rhine.

    Built in what was then West Germany, the P22 was American designed and initially operated by the US Navy for six years before being handed over to German Army control in 1958.
