Hei hei hei, got a new portuguese member on board! Welcome!

Piece of advice, do not belive in anything Jimbuna says and you can live to post 1000 posts or more...Others advices with time!

About the sub, well I will miss the old Barracuda, it had a type VII nostalgia! Of course the far left party here promote a march against the new subs and beging Portugal to left Nato!

Mmm, German engineering!

Very cool boat. These are really potent vessels, especially for their size.

214s, heard good things about them, capable boats and good size for the Portuguese coast.

Hope they serve you well, the Germans have a habit of building good subs, so I'm sure they will.

I've heard horror stories. The Greeks want to dump them as defective and the ROK had to make major changes to reduce noise.
