DESCRIPCIÓN DEL SISTEMA
The Type 212A is a class of diesel-electric submarines designed by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems for the German and Italian navies. It was the first submarine to feature a hydrogen fuel cell air-independent propulsion system, enabling it to remain submerged for weeks without surfacing. Its extremely low acoustic signature has made it a benchmark for conventional submarine stealth.

Range and payload figures here are impressive but the basing requirements limit operational flexibility considerably.
