High tech German submarine U214

The last report said Israel had received a German-made submarines that could be armed with nuclear submarine industry has put Germany into the world spotlight. Here we will tell you a little review about the German submarine the most cutting-edge today is U214.
At the end of 2010, Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Vanizelos resigned just before he was scheduled to receive from the German submarine U214 worth hundreds of millions of euros to Greece. Venizelos probably are not in the mood to celebrate the arrival of the submarine, given that Greece's economic situation is worse today.

Elsewhere, Greek Navy chief visited the company HowaldtswerkeDeutsche Werft shipyard in Germany to receive the submarine. It was the first submarine in the contract with the German 6 units received by Greece. Contract for submarines was signed before the financial crisis exploded in the country.
Durable Power
With the U214 submarine, holding company Thyssen-Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS) in Essen, Germany has created the model of "hot" of submarines to international buyers. Along with Greece, countries such as Portugal, Turkey, Israel and South Korea have submitted an order, but the deal failed to Pakistan.

Each state has its own reasons to buy submarine U214, which is known to have an independent air propulsion system that allows the submarine stay under water for weeks. In contrast, diesel submarines to surface regularly to "breathe".
Until now, only available propulsion independent air in large atomic submarines capable of carrying a crew of about 130 people. In comparison, the U214 is more conventional, only 27 crew.
Support Berlin
Submarines to be something very important for the German shipbuilding industry. With shipbuilding cargo has shifted to China and South Korea, submarines and cruise ships is the last pillar of the German shipbuilding industry. Since the construction of the ship in Germany is only profitable in the military sector, civil division TKMS has sold to other investors.
The company is now exclusively focused on the manufacture of submarines for military purposes, and the U214 submarine is the most produced. Order 6 U214 by Turkey would "secure" TKMS finances for years to come. German navy also was ordered the submarine. On the one hand, 3,700 employees in TKMS depend on government money. As submarines for the German Navy and Israel, funded first by the Berlin government.
New Technology
Submarine does not mean is a relic of the Cold War, but it will be increasingly important for military strategy. Submarines will maintain bases, protecting cargo ships or for spying duties other countries.
The latest models of submarines continuously adapted to the various tasks performed by the German Navy. For example, someday submarines could launch missiles or aircraft.

For NATO partners who are currently stuck in economic difficulties, technical features may be too expensive. Submarines were sold to Athens even probably will not stay long in the Greek Navy. Greek politicians are currently thought to sell the submarines for the Navy other countries.
