I guess you mean explicitly the problems of the German Federal Navy.
These difficulties can be attributed to the German political leadership alone.
The Schildbürger in Berlin found it particularly smart to buy the boats of the type 212A without the necessary maintenance contracts, because you could eventually save 300 million per boat.
HDW aka TKMS had discouraged this and categorically rejected a "just in time" model.
So it's not the devices - they are extremely good.
