china submarine force structure

--

Leaving aside the PLAN’s dozen imported Russian subs, new Chinese submarines can be detected at what’s known as the “first convergence zone,” a ring approximately 25 miles from an undersea vessel where outward-traveling sound waves pack close together.

The German shipyard HDW has released information about a proposed conventional propulsion long-range submarine project, called Type 216. Based on the Type 214, the Type 216 is designed specifically to meet the "larger conventional submarine" needs of countries.

Design
Double hull design.
Type 216 could be equipped with an air independent propulsion system, giving it the same kind of ability as a nuclear submarine: Staying underwater for weeks to reach crisis area, such as the Strait of Malacca. Like an SSN It would have the ability to launch cruise missiles, to deploy special forces with their underwater delivery vehicle and even unmanned underwater vehicles. The class is designed to be extremely quiet due to its propulsion system and through the use of sound absorbing coating on the hull.

Weapons
6x 533 mm torpedo tubes (to deploy torpedoes, anti-ship missiles or mines)
Vertical Launch System (2.5 m diameter to deploy cruise missiles or UUV)
Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) to deploy special forces

Type
Conventional Submarine (SSK)
Crew
33 (extra accomodations for Special Forces)
Operators
None
Performance
Top Speed: N/A
Range: 10,400 nm @ 10 kts
Endurance: 80 days
Displacement
~4,000 tons
Engines
Diesel Electric with AIP
Builder
HDW - TKMS Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH
Dimensions
Length: 89 m
Breadth: 8.1 m
Maximum Draft: 6.6 m

This would be ideal for India's needs if they could incorporate Brahmos missile into it.

We are buying 214s and now Germans start to develop 216s.... Damn our luck :/

The 214 you have meets your needs due to Turkey's location but for India we need longer range due to the Indian Ocean.

sub will have the same capability as 214 with the exception of cruise missiles and Special forces deployment vehicle.
i think 214 has relatively same range as this one..
