You get to see the torpedo room, CIC, engine compartment and other bits and bobs onboard a Type 212A. The exercise cycle right in front of the electric motor is a nice touch.

The moniker is quite misleading, however. This is effectively a cleansheet design, based on expertise from the previous effort. It's really a new boat.

Type 212A boats. This would sidestep an expensive overhaul and life extension for Type 212A. The "Zielbild Marine 2035+" force structure asked for six to nine submarines.
