But I hope these latest photos, that I have taken in Kiel are worth of your waiting.
This S-185, U-35 of the German Navy. She is a Type 212A class AIP capable boat. She was launched this year but she is still under construction.
This is S-171 Arpao of Portugese Navy. She is a Type 209PN class submarine. Despite her type she has more in common with a Type 214 submarine than a regular Type 209. She is scheduled for commissioning in 2011.
