Has left the drawing board. With a modified Stirling engine will it run quieter and deeper than previous submarines.

Government decision on the new submarine project!

The Swedish government has decided to initiate work on a new generation of submarines for the Swedish Armed Forces.

The new generation, with Kockums project designation A26, shall be designed to withstand both coastal operations and have the capacity to be the ocean. It will be powered by conventional diesel-electric machinery, and also be equipped with air independent propulsion system type Stirling, making it difficult to detect.The new A26 will be "invulnerable" by a very strong protection against impact and underwater explosions. It will also have a capacity to carry different modular utility loads, with a tubsystem which is more flexible compared to today's torpedo tubes.

A26 must be able to be connected to various forms of network.trough entire submarine's service life, it shall be upgraded and adjusted by a highly modular design.

I hope this works out good for Sweden with such important sea lanes in case war with neighbors should break out.

USN needs items of this nature to free up costal defenses ...

let the nuc's run free

but I don't see any non-nuclear submarines in our future especially with the USN budget woes.

Oh well it was a nice thought :yep:

I'm so disappointed, The interior may be up to date, but the design is stil 70's, 80's and 90's nothing new thinking there.

During my military time I draw some lines for some high ranked person on how the sub should look like in the future

I remember some of those drawings and there were NO conning towers on those.
