I hope it is a green submarine. The water environment can not handle anymore bad emissions. Also, is this sonar free? We have to consider the whales. J/K.

It would appear to have 8 forward torpedoe tubes. Thats an improvement even over the Tench class.

Looks like missile launchers on rear deck.



And it can dive a whole 30 feet............Wow.



But who knows, didn't they say the auto would never replace the horse?
So does that mean the auto will replace the submarine?...........MMmm time for me to go to bed, brains getting waterlogged.
