Germany:
Turret Caesar from battleship Gneisenau, now preserved at Austrått Fort near Trondheim, Norway
Quite interesting to see how close civilians could get to ships like Tirpitz. Taking pictures was strictly forbidden though, which makes this picture all the more special

Sweden:
Muskö naval base, HSwMS Sundsvall entering a pen in the naval base. Built in several stages from 1950 to 1969 in Concrete, stone, steel, this was the largest "nuclear-proof" naval base of Sweden. This unique underground naval facility was based on the island of Muskö, south of Stockholm. It has three docks, large enough for two destroyers and two submarines. Kept highly secret during the cold war it was only fully unveiled to the public from 2004, when it was decided to concentrate efforts in Karlskrona Naval Base and the Berga Naval Base. The only raison d'être of the complex was indeed the nuclear threat posed by USSR.
HSwMS Småland in one of the underground pens in Muskö naval base (1960). This could be used as a NBC-proof drydock as well.
