Look at this. "The 214 submarine is a further improvement on the Type 212." ⇒Bayerischermann - 16:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


Naval-technology is not very reliable, since its article on Type 214 is meant to promote these subs as export models.

In fact, there had been several TV-interviews with German navy officiers when U31 was commissioned, and the commander said the export version, Type 214, lacks the nonmagnetic hull and also some secret sonar and communications technologies.

Also Type 214 is basically a Type 209 plus AIP propulsion. However, Type 212 was an independent design, which is not completely based on Type 209 (although some elements were of course adopted).
