TYPE-214

HDW has developed the Type 214 submarine, which is a further improvement on the Type 212.

The Greek Navy has ordered three Type 214 submarines. The first, Papanikolis (S120), was built at the HDW Kiel shipyard and was launched in April 2004. As of April 2008, the Greek government has refused to accept delivery of the vessel and a commissioning date is uncertain. The vessel successfully completed a further series of sea trials in September 2008.

The Hellenic Shipyards is building the second (Pipinos S121, launched November 2006) and third (Matrozos 122) vessels at Skaramanga. Hellenic Shipyards was acquired by HDW (now part of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems) in May 2002. A fourth vessel, Katsonis (S123) was ordered by Greece in June 2002 and is expected to commission in 2012.

South Korea has also ordered three Type 214, to enter service in 2007, 2008 and 2009. These are being built by Hyundai Heavy Industries. The first, Admiral Sohn Won-il, was launched in June 2006 and commissioned in December 2007. The second, Jung Ji, was launched in June 2007 and is to be delivered in November 2008. The third, Ahn Jung-geun, was launched in June 2008 and will be commissioned in November 2009. The submarines will form the KSS2 Class. An additional three submarines may be ordered.

The Type 214 will have an increased diving depth of over 400m, due to improvements in the pressure hull materials. Hull length is 65m and displacement 1,700t. Four of the eight torpedo tubes will be capable of firing missiles.

Type 214 submarines for the Hellenic Navy will be armed with the WASS (Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subaquei) Black Shark heavyweight torpedo. The Black Shark is a dual-purpose, wire-guided torpedo which is fitted with Astra active / passive acoustic head and a multi-target guidance and control unit incorporating a counter-countermeasures system. It has an electrical propulsion system based on a silver oxide and aluminium battery.
"The Type 214 will have an increased diving depth of over 400m."

Performance of the AIP system has been increased with two Siemens PEM fuel cells which produce 120kW per module and will give the submarine an underwater endurance of two weeks.

A hull shape which has been further optimised for hydrodynamic and stealth characteristics and a low-noise propeller combine to decrease the submarine's acoustic signature.

The integrated sensor underwater system ISUS 90, from ATLAS Elektronik integrates all sensors, command and control functions on board the submarine. BAE Systems provides the link 11 tactical data link. The sensor suite of the U214 submarine consists of the sonar systems, an attack periscope and an optronic mast. The submarine's electronic support measures system and global positioning system sensors are also installed on the optronic mast.

well if true, beleive me many member can breath with comfort atlast!!
all the rumors were really ringing alarm bells every where,
however on this great acheivement let us not forget the senetor who bring the scandle into notice and prevented the deal from being sabotaged if there ever was a plan like this,,
hats off to you sir!!

to add, another big issue seem to be resolved in this report. it was the TOT part that was actully under debate before the rumors start comming about the deal itself being sacked. it is really a good news that two out of these three Subs will be made at home. i gues pairing it up with turkey did worked acoording to desire. the TOT components are know as yet but still whatever it is, they will only bring us good. this will really help our mission to acheive indegenious abilites to produce military hardware as now with the experience of agostas adn U214, PN might come up with some PKNxxx some day, Inshallah!

regards!

Any details on the TOT?
Are we just going to assemble prebuilt German components, or will we build some parts from scratch?

No details on TOT is out yet but the only that later two will be built in karachi shipyard. The TOT bit would definately be bit more then Augusta as Pakistan has now experience assembling and building subs.

let the deal sign up and then the details to certain extent will be made public. until then just wait.
