Recently, the commander of the Navy revealed that the Greek Navy is interested in buying used submarines.
In fact, the case has been under consideration for some time, and as expected, the focus is on the German and Italian Navy's Type 212A submarines in order to gradually replace the older 209s.
The German Type 212 class (German: U-Boot-Klasse 212 A), also Italian Todaro class, is a diesel-electric submarine developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) for the German and Italian navies. It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens proton exchange membrane (PEM) compressed hydrogen fuel cells.
Type 212A is capable of launching the fiber optic-guided DM2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight torpedoes, the WASS BlackShark torpedoes and short-range missiles from its six torpedo tubes, which use a water ram expulsion system. Future capability may include tube-launched cruise missiles.
