The Dolphin has an own wet-and-dry compartment but, as you said, swimmer delivery vehicles can be launched form the 650 mm tubes.

But the nuclear-capable version of the medium-range "Popeye Turbo" cruise missile design has been tested for deployability from the 650mm torpedo tubes in the Dolphin submarines.

It has four of the latter, and six 533 mm tubes - some firepower for sure.
