Didn't the Greeks cancel one or send one back or something of that nature? :hmmm:

Yeah, but they were the 214s, the Greek trouble boats. The 212s are a little better, because the 214s are geared more towards exporting.

I don't know much about the Italian war effort other than the sank many of our ships, heh. But Italy design some of the most spectacular machines know to man.

I don't think we are talking about the same Italy. We are talking about the one that built stuff like this:

Good point, that would be comparable in armament and performance to masterpieces of the same years, so the Italians were matching such advanced foriegn designs as errrr...the later M2;)

But the question remains...can they afford them?

When they entered the war in June 1940, the Italian navy had 115 submarines, of which 84 were operational. However, a shocking 10 were lost in the first twenty days of action, due partly to flaws in quality, or poor training, and partly due to reckless bravado. After that experience the Italians never had more than 25 to 30 boats operational at any one time. With a few bright exceptions they were poorly directed and accomplished little.
