A small Royal Marines unit was based in HMS Royal Prince in Krefeld in the late 1940s/early 1950s. Initially known as the Royal Marines Demolition Unit, subsequently Special Boat Section Royal Marines (ultimately absorbed into the current SBS) the unit’s task was the contingency planning for the close protection (and demolition if necessary) of the key strategic bridges over the River Rhine in the event of any attack by Soviet Forces based in East Germany [Source: BAOR Locations website].
