okay so im in a debate with a buddy over Nuclear vs Diesel subs. Im a nuke supporter, and hes for the diesels.

and of course I had to bring up the range idea, which is the logical advantage over a diesel, and he said that with AIP a diesel had enough range to perform any task. I countered with a scenario...

I set it up that there was an enemy battlegroup inbound towards a friendly target, and you are a distance away. you have to intercept the enemy battlegroup before they get in range of their target.

so I know that on AIP they can stay submerged for up to 2 weeks and travel 3000 nm running at 4 knots. but what would be the maximum range of a type 212 sub running on AIP at flank speed?
