Extremely cool boat, this type 212/214.

And it's a much better option for navies that don't want to waste as much or more money to develop what ends as an inferior model.

Even more so if you don't have to pay full price like everybody else...

Hey here's a good look see at the Dolphin Class submarine. It's a good stealthy weapons platform and allows Israel to pack a deterrant punch if some of it's neighbors want to sneak in a sucker punch....

I don't understand why the german government decided to finance the deal, paying up to 1/3 of the money (at least according to an article from JP) when usually all other customers do not get this "red carpert" treatment.

And the first 3 submarines. Israel paid one third the cost of the third unit only.

What I am wondering about is that even over one year ago it already was reported that the deal is perfect. If you remember, back then I complained that Israel was not asking for, but DEMANDING to be delivered these boats (talking of the 212, not the older 209)- and then I was stunned when severral newspaper said that the deal is done.
