Submarine Yard

During the decades-long civil war, the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) or the Tamil Tigers had established a base in Pudukuduirippu, where various vessels were manufactured. The Sea Tigers (the naval wing of the LTTE) constructed a number of submarines, suicide boats, semi-submersibles, gunboats, human torpedoes and much more to be used in war, which can still be seen today.
