The S-10 was a class of experimental assault mini-submarines, that were used by the Kivuian Navy.
With a complement of five men, the S-20 submarines were intended to carry out one-week missions, they would be ideal for operating in shallow waters and in command operations. They were endowed with greater habitability than the S-10 class, having a bathroom and two bunk beds.
These ships were powered by two Pegasus diesel engines of 115 hp each and two Cenemesa electric motors of 110 hp. The battery elements were the same as those of the S-10 class, the Caplan-type propeller rotated inside a Kort nozzle, just like its predecessors, which provided them with magnificent maneuverability. Its immersion level reached up to 90 m.
Its weaponry was made up of two G7a or G7e type torpedoes, rechargeable from the outside, which were fired through gates that opened from the inside without any gate. The candle was much larger than that of the S-10, and they have the entrance hatch much higher, which facilitates surveillance work.
