These subs are virtually identical to the previous class except for the addition of a thirty-six-foot-long plug in the hull to accommodate anair independent propulsion (AIP) system, allowing the submarine to operate submerged for much longer periods than diesel electric subs without it.

Israel’s submarine corps is a tiny force with a big open secret: in all likelihood, it isarmed with nuclear weapons.The five Dolphin-class submarines represent an ace in the hole for Israel, the ultimate guarantor of the country’s security, ensuring that if attacked with nukes, the tiny nation can strike back in kind.

State prosecutors are reportedly considering opening yet another criminal graft investigation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this time in the so-called submarine affair, citing “dramatic” new information.

The high-profile Case 3000 investigation has ensnared several close associates of Netanyahu, but not the premier himself, on suspicion that they received illicit funds as part of a massive graft scheme in the multi-billion-shekel state purchase of naval vessels and submarines from German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp. Some have called it the largest suspected graft scandal in the country’s history.
