Thank you for this assist!
These submarines were designed to carry E14 and E15 533 torpedoes, produced by Sintra Alcatel (now in DCNS).
To be noted, that this weapon its not dual purpose, the E version got anti ship capabilities, so for many years these plattforms were not ssk capable.
This could be due to two reasons (in my opinion): or PN focused on ship interdiction or they didnt had a dual purpose torpedo to fit in (likely the second).
Later, I think in 1995 these submarine recived an upgrade, and report says that the new weapons installed on board were AEG's SUT torpedo, this time a dual purpose weapon with both capabilities.
In 1995 you've lost (and brightly recovered) one of your three "x-craft" due to a chicken bone..
Any updated pictures?
If you want detailed infos, of cuorse the ones not classified, I'll be pleasured to answere.
