Good news. Norway has a long tradition of using Germans U-boats

Good times for TKMS. Might be able to bag the Polish and Dutch tenders too.

Deliveries for Type 209/1400s to Egypt and Israel ongoing (Dolphin) and Singapore (Type 218SG) on the books.

These things must be retardedly cramped inside.
The long thin shape of newer german designs must be shit for crew comfort. French and Swedish subs seem a little fatter

They have small crews and aren't intended for long missions.

Type 212 subs are smaller by design, more for local warfare than patrolling around the globe.

The Scorpene and A26 share similar displacements and design philosophies.

The Type 216 offered to Australia is a much bigger boat.

I wonder if Kockums will ever make an export sale again.

Still pisses me of that we've seen such reductions in numbers of our sub forces. Every sub-guy ive spoken with praise the 212-choice, but at the same time point out that 4 subs will leave just 2 for actuall patrolling, while one is in work-up and one in maintainance somewhere. 6 total seems to be the wanted minimum

NO WE WANT NICE SUBS

But on the bright side, they are Thyssenwerke. Mein Mann!

That part you can see on the top is the small part
