In 1992, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) was hired by the Norwegian authorities to develop technology to detect any remaining oil in the sunken German WW2 warship Blücher.
This area was also significant in the sinking of the German cruiser Blücher in 1940, as the location of the Husvik Battery of Oscarsborg Fortress.

A notable event in Drøbak's history is the World War II sinking of the German cruiser Blücher in the Drøbak narrows (only 1 mile (1.5 km) wide), on the early morning of 9 April 1940.
The museum currently houses one jet fighter of every type used by the RNoAF, and a number of trainers, in addition to what is probably the only remaining, or at least most complete Arado Ar 96, and the airframe of an Arado Ar 196 which was stationed on the German cruiser Blücher when she was sunk in the Oslofjord in April 1940.
