First Metal Cut for First Boat of New Class of SSKs for Brazil
DCNS launched the industrial production phase of the Brazilian submarine programme, ....
...
The first boat of this new class is scheduled to enter active service in 2017. All four submarines use conventional, or diesel-electric propulsion and will be manned by a crew of between 30 and 45 submariners. For a length overall of 75 meters the design offers a surface displacement of less than 2,000 tons.
The SSK design meets the Brazilian Navy's specific requirements, including capabilities for the protection and defence of the country's 8,500-kilometers coast. These blue-water SSKs are being designed for a wide range of missions from anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, without forgetting special operations and intelligence-gathering.
