Project history

This is a slightly lengthened, improved version of the original Sauro class, bought because the new S90 was not yet ready. The two units were ordered 7.3.1983. They are capable of diving deeper and are capable of firing Sub-Harpoon missiles. A single pressure-proof bulkhead was added to provide a pressure-proof internal space to shells the crew in the event the submarine sank.

Modernizations
