First Look at the
212 Class German Submarine
Order DVD-156
This is the
first look at the super-secret 212 Class Air-Independent German Submarine, said
to be the most modern non-nuclear submarine in the world.
This tape was gotten out of Germany at the beginning of 2005 and we see the
newest, most modern non-nuclear submarine in the world, the German 212 Class
air-independent submarine capable of running engines at depths of 1,000 feet (or
more) and able to remain submerged for weeks at a time.
On this DVD we see the first of the 212
Class, U-31, on sea trials operating with a frigate. There
are views from the shore, by divers around the boat underwater and all through
the boat - compartment by compartment and there is a thorough look inside the
CIC (central control room) with views of all the high-tech equipment and
displays. There is even a look at the one item on a submarine that is
always forbidden - the propeller!
There is a comparison between U-31,
the newest 212 Class long-range boat to be built and U-30, the
last of the old 206 Alpha Class coastal boats. These 212 Class boats are
extremely modern - streamlined, ultra-quiet and able to remain submerged for
weeks at a time. All these qualities make for a super-submarine.
