Military Canteen of Royal Netherlands Navy



The Military Canteen of Royal Netherlands Navy (also known as the Marine Societeit Moderlust Ujung) was built in Soerabaja, Dutch East Indies (present-day Surabaya, Indonesia) in 1890. The canteen was a place for socializing and was known as Marine Societeit "Moderlust" (Mud Lust) Ujung after May 1867.

The crew of submarine HNLMS K XVIII visited the canteen during their stay in Soerabaja in 1942. The sub was eventually scuttled ahead of the Japanese advance and was later raised by the Japanese as a "picket hulk" in the harbor. It was later sunk by HMS Taciturn (P334).

Societeit clubs were popular in cities across the Dutch East Indies.
