hmm part 4 of Nagapasa - Chang Bogo - Type 209 1400 class funfact
10. The screen table you see here

11. The Evolution
The Korean Chang Bogo I (Type 209 1200) is bought in late 90's with license built and modification, but still retain the orginal 1200 ton dimension, 56 meters
* The flat deck above the waterline doesn't have any specific name, and according to some source, it just called as "upper casing"
** The upper casing hold some tanks, piping, equipment storage, and electronic stuff, as shown here
and also here, the Type 212A German Navy
The ID Navy Chang Bogo is different, the hull is streched to 61-62meter, again, to accomodate more sophisticated equipment (both mechanical and electrical) and better storage.
While Nagapasa Class is in subclass of Type 209 1400ton. It is notably different from the same 1400ton class the original manufacturer built. The HDW (now owned by Thyssenkrupp Marine system) built has adopt some of the newer and more aerodynamic approach, especially the sail design, now is much bigger and wider, so there is no little pathway connecting from the forward to the stern
* i had to adjust the upper picture by reversing it so that it poses in similar direction with the lower one
**this comparison is Nagapasa class with newer Eqyptian Type 209 Mod1400 TKMS
As you can see, the Nagapasa class has still retain the original sail design from 1200 ton, it is proved with the same sail door position
But the TKMS built has the door on front side of the sail and on the rear right side, just like the Type 212 and 214
Another thing is the TKMS sail tower is slightly a little bit on forward position compared to Nagapasa,
this may not give any different in performance, but only fitting to the design of control room, as we understand, the control room is very cramped in space and utilized in very efficient way in placing such equipment, it is possible that if the periscope is positioned a little bit forward according to the arangement of control room (remember that the periscope is the only "pipe" that penetrate through the hull upwards to the conning tower)
12. Type 209 Variation
I will only talk about 2 different species of this series.
A. Indian Navy Type 209 1500ton Shishumar class.
Because the Type 209 design is highly customisable, (because it's very basic design of modern submarine). The Indian Navy take it brutally different, they placed an escape pod
The literature said that the escape pod could accomodate up to 50 personnel with 8 hours of oxygen supply, and after seeing the picture of "small" ball shaped pod, i don't believe it, until i saw this
you can count it yourself, and multiple it by 2 since it has 2 level.
Yea it's crazy so many personnel could be accomodated in to that little sphere life-saving pod
B. The Argentine Navy 1700ton class Ara San Juan
The design is different, the hull diametre is larger than the original (6.3 meter diametre to 7.3metre) so that it could accomodate double level (instead if single level on original type)
But it is unfortunate to this very ship, The Ara San Juan sunk on the Atlantic Ocean on 15 November 2017 in the depth of 900 meters
That's it guys, the funfact series of Nagapasa class has come to an end. If you knew something we didn't, as long as it's not life-threatening-classified-information, just share it here guys. Im sure the member here enjoyed this thread.
Bonus
After endlessly surfing to the web, i finally found this unique and rare picture of our navy
sous-marin.
