The Harpoon-class submarine, or S-100 class is a class of attack submarines currently under construction by Bluefront Inc, the first ship is scheduled to be commissioned in 2023. Issues in the original designs caused construction to be delayed in the 2010s.
Characteristics
Harpoon-class submarines are oceanic submarines of medium tonnage with the capacity to carry out long duration missions in scenarios far from their base, acting with a minimum level of indiscretion. They will have an integrated platform control system that allows operation with a reduced endowment and a high degree of automation with remote control. The characteristics of this class of ships place them at a level close to those of nuclear propulsion.
Like their predecessors, the Spear-class submarine, harpoon-class submarines feature Air-independent propulsion (AIP).
Ships in the Class
Four ships are currently planned, with the first scheduled to be completed in 2023.
