Well it sure is interesting design, I know there will be some that will spot the ski jump and think F35B capability but a quick view of the specs and I highly doubt it could ever handle such an aircraft.

But for drones perfectly fine.

Well, our current commander-in-chief (if this is the correct term and translation for the person that is in charge of the all navy) strategy is a "drone" one.
He also said that the navy would also buy 2 submarines, since he is from the sub force, that would be expected.

2 more submarines wouldn't go a miss you could operate a 1-4 rotation, wonder what they will go for? maybe the 212CD perhaps as the tridente is based off the type 214

Well, the last business did had some shady turns, but I think keeping with u-boats (:D) can not go wrong.

Is the 212CD a ocean type? I think that due to our coast and EEC zone, we always need a ocean type submarine. Or at least having like 3 ocean and one coastal.

Yes the CD version is much larger and has much greater range than the 212A

So far Norway and Germany have committed to the design with Canada and Netherlands looking at the design for their own navies
