TKMS press release

Following the strict corona prevention measures at the shipyard, the handover took place in Kiel.

Dr. Rolf Wirtz, CEO of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems: „I would like to thank everyone involved for the open dialogue and the trusting cooperation. The success would not have been possible without the professionalism and competence of our employees, customers and suppliers. The handover of the fourth and last HDW Class 209/1400mod submarine in the project means, that our Egyptian colleagues will return home. We wish them all the best for the future and hope to welcome them back at our shipyard for further projects soon.”

The contract for the delivery of the first two 209/1400 mod class submarines to the Arab Republic of Egypt was signed in 2011. In 2015, Egypt decided to take the option for two additional units. The first submarine was handed over in December 2016, the second in August 2017 and the third in April 2020. All four submarines will enhance Egypt’s defense capabilities and combat efficiency, achieve maritime security, and protect Egyptian coasts as well as the economic interests between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

About „S44“:
In September 2020, the “S44” was named and launched at the shipyard of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems in Kiel. The submarine is extremely reliable, can stay submerged for a long time, is fast, and hard to locate thanks to their low signatures.

• Length: approx. 62 m
• Diameter: approx. 6,2 m
• Displacement (surface): approx. 1,450 t
• Displacement (submerged) approx. 1,600 t
• Crew: 30

Scorpene mainly .. but if Germany, Italy or China come up with a better deal with more ToT.. then the game is still open.. although the Scorpene negotiations are in an advanced stage..

I guess the T is meant for hours.. It can stay submerged for over 66 days that is more than 2 months unless I got something wrong in my calculations here.
