Comments to the Class |
|
Built in accordance with the German
specifications and almost identical to the German type 205, but
modified to meet special Danish demands.
The two Danish submarines were built
using magnetic steel due to the fact, that the anti magnetic steel
used in the type 205 subs had shown not to satisfactory.
After 1994 the two subs were modified to
bring the technical performance similar to those of the "new"
TUMLEREN Class. |
