Launch unrestricted submarine warfare against Zimbabwe or Namibia?
Seriously, they ordered four, two of which have allready been delivered. But SA stayed conservative and ordered conventional diesel/electric 209s, not AIP 214s.

Wasn't there a really bad book that was like this? SA buying a bunch of ceramic hall subs with flying nuclear torpedoes that could shoot down aircraft?

 South Africa with 63 submarines???  OK it would be even more strange for Swiss or San Marino to have even one submarine (Though there IS a Swiss Navy AFAIK ), but admitingly it sounds a bit ilogical
