Default S194 in Dublin

I noticed a submarine docked in Dublin, Ireland today. It is S194 (U-15) but I would like to find more info if possible. Here's a link to a photo of it taken by a recent visitor to Dublin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebaz/...57602255105624

My simple web research says its call sign is: DRDI FGS U-15 SUBMARINE S-194
It was laid down by HDW in 1970, launched 15 June 1972 and commisioned 17 July 1974. Its home pert is apparently Eckernforde.


Here are its specs:

Type 206A coastal submarine
Speed (Kts): 10 surfaced, 17 submerged.
Range (Miles): 4500 at 5kts, surfaced.
Displacement: Surface 450t., Submerged: 520 t
Dimensions: Length 48.6m; Beam 4.6m; Draft 4.5m;
Armament: 8 21 inch torpedo tubes (16 torpedoes & mines), 24 external mines
Propulsion: 2 shafts,Diesel-electric, 2 diesels, 2,300 shp
RadarSurface: Thomson-CSF Calypso II, I band.
Sonar: Thomson Sintra DUUX 22 (passive), Atlas ElektroniK DBQS-21D (active).
Countermeasures: ESM: Thompson-CSF DR2000U with a Thorn-EMI SARIE-2.
Complement: 22 (4 officers)

More info on this type can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_206_submarine

Its WWII counter part sank 3 ships and was accidently rammed by a german torpedo boat in 1940, no survivors!

Does anyone have any extra info to add ?

Thanks...
