The U212 submarine is capable of long-distance submerged passage to the area of operation. The German Navy has ordered four of the submarines. The Type 212 is being constructed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW) of Kiel and Thyssen Nordseewerke GmbH (TNSW) of Enden. HDW is responsible for the bow sections and TNSW for the stern section. HDW is assembling the first and third vessels, TNSW the second and fourth. U31, the first of class, began sea trials in April 2003 and it is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2004. The second, U32, was named in December 2003 and is planned to be handed over in May 2005.

A consortium led by STN ATLAS Elektronik and Allied Signal ELAC is responsible for the development of the TAU 2000 torpedo countermeasures system. TAU 2000 has four launch containers, each with up to ten discharge tubes equipped with effectors. The effectors are small underwater vehicles, similar in appearance to a torpedo. The effectors are jammers and decoys with hydrophones and acoustic emitters. Multiple effectors are deployed in order to counter torpedoes in re-attack mode.

SENSORS

传感器

 

The submarine is equipped with an integrated DBQS sonar system which has: cylindrical array for passive medium-frequency detection; a TAS-3 low-frequency towed array sonar; FAS-3 flank array sonar for low/medium-frequency detection; passive ranging sonar; and hostile sonar intercept system. The active high-frequency mine detection sonar is the STN Atlas Elektronik MOA 3070.

潜艇配备有集成DBQS声纳系统，该系统具有：用于被动中频探测圆柱阵列;一部TAS-3低频拖曳阵声纳; FAS-3舷侧阵声纳低/中频探测;被动测距声纳;和敌对声纳拦截系统。有源高频水雷探测声呐是STN阿特拉斯电子公司MOA3070。

PROPULSION

推进

 

The propulsion system combines a conventional system consisting of a diesel generator with a lead acid battery, and an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, used for silent slow cruising, with a fuel cell equipped with oxygen and hydrogen storage. The system consists of nine PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cells, providing between 30 and 50kW each.

推进系统由一套铅酸电池柴油发电机常规系统和一套用于静默缓慢巡航“不依赖空气推进”（AIP）系统联合组成。使用装有氧气和氢气存储的燃料电池。系统由九组PEM（质子交换膜）燃料电池模块所组成，每组提供功率在30-50千瓦之间。

 

For higher speeds, connection is made to the high-performance lead acid battery. An MTU 16 V- 396 diesel engine powers the generator from Piller GmbH for charging the battery installed on the lower of the two decks at the forward section of the submarine. The diesel generator plant is mounted on a swinging deck platform with double elastic mounts for noise and vibration isolation. The propeller motor is directly coupled to the seven-bladed screwback propeller.

对于更高的速度，连接使用高性能的铅酸电池。一台Piller GmbH公司生产的MTU 16 V- 396柴油发动机，在潜艇的前部安装在双层甲板下对电池充电。柴油-发电机设备为隔噪音和隔振在一个摆动甲板平台上的双重柔性座上安装。螺旋桨电动机直接联接到七浆叶万字形螺旋桨。

 

TYPE 214

214型

 

HDW is developing 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; it is scheduled for delivery in 2005. Hellenic Shipyards will build the second (Pipinos S121) and third (Matrozos 122) vessels at Skaramanga, for commission in 2008-09. Hellenic Shipyards was acquired by HDW in May 2002. A fourth vessel was ordered by Greece in June 2002.

HDW发展的214型潜艇，这是在212型的进一步改进。希腊海军已订购三艘214型潜艇。第一艘，papanikolis（S120），在HDW基尔船厂建造并在2004年四月下水；预计2005年交付。在skaramanga的希腊船厂将建造第二艘（pipinos S121）和第三艘（Matrozos 122）艇身，在2008-09年服役。希腊船厂被HDW在 2002年五月并购。2002年六月第四艘艇身被希腊订购。

The Class 214 submarine will have an increased diving depth and an improvement in AIP performance.

 

South Korea has also ordered three Type 214, to enter service in 2007, 2008 and 2009. These will be built by Hyundai Heavy Industries.

韩国也订购了三艘214型，在2007年，2008年和2009年进入服役。这些由现代重工建造。

 

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.

214型会增加潜水深度超过400米，这由于压力壳材料的改进。艇体长度65米、排水量1700吨，八个鱼雷发射管中的四个将能够发射导弹。

 

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.

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.

AIP系统使用两套西门子PEM燃料电池性能得到了提高每个模块产生120千瓦，并给潜艇两周的水下续航。已为流体动力学及隐身特性得到了进一步优化的艇体形状和低噪声螺旋桨相结合，降低潜艇的声学特征。
