German company partially declassified TTH of 218SG submarines purchased by Singapore

At the Singapore military exhibition IMDEX Asia 2015 (19-21 in May), the German company ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) first showed the layout and revealed some of the characteristics of the non-nuclear submarine of the 218SG project, two units of which were purchased by Singapore.

A contract with the Singapore Ministry of Defense for the construction of 2-s of non-nuclear submarines was concluded on 2 on December 2013. Nevertheless, to date, no information has been published on the appearance and characteristics of the 218SG project.

“The boat of the 218SG project is an enlarged version of the well-known export project of the non-nuclear 214 submarine. The displacement (above-water) of the 218SG boat reaches 2000 m, the length is 70 m, and the width is 6,3 m (for the boat of the 214 project, respectively 1690 m, 65 m and 6,3 m). At the same time, elements of the architecture of another modern German project 212А are used in the construction of the vessel. In particular, X-shaped tail rudders. The boat project 218SG will have eight 533-mm torpedo tubes. ”- leads data blog bmpd with reference to the Jane's International Defense Review.

The representative of TKMS said at the exhibition that “the boat of the 218SG project will be equipped with the same air-independent power plant, that the boat of the 214 project - that is, two HDW / Siemens electrochemical generators with a power of 120 kW each.”

Earlier, the Singapore Defense Ministry reported that the submarines "will be equipped with advanced ASBU joint development of the German company Atlas Elektronik and Singapore Singapore Technologies Electronics."

The transfer of boats to Singapore is scheduled for 2020, the approximate value of the contract is € 1 billion.

On a tricky opp, there is a device with a screw.

there’s practically nothing here especially secret-declassified, at least in the article !!!

January 2014. Recently, Germany has stepped up the marketing of its non-nuclear submarines (NPL) in the Asian region. This region is considered by the German shipbuilding industry as a potential market for nuclear submarines.

According to experts, the emerging conflict of interests of a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific Region (APR) contributes to an increase in interest in the products of German manufacturers of nuclear submarines. Among the boats that may soon be in demand in the Asia-Pacific region, a new low-noise boat of the 218SG project with an air-independent power plant (VNEU). This boat with a fuel cell propulsion and lithium-ion batteries can be at sea for more than 80 days, including four weeks under water.

Submarines will also receive a unique combat control system, the design of which will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Singapore Military. ST Electronics and Atlas Elektronik will participate in the development of this system. Other details about the Type 218SG project were not disclosed. In particular, it is not known whether the ships of this project will become a completely new development, or whether they will be created on the basis of the existing Type 212 / A or Type 214.

Under the terms of the contract, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems must also train submarine crews and provide technical support for ships. Supposedly, the purchase of submarines cost Singapore 2,8 billion euros. The new submarines will have to replace the outdated Challenger-class ships built in the 1960s. and purchased by Singapore in the 1990s

I think our Lada will be better

[ilya_oz]

Our Lada is still alone, and even that with a bunch of flaws. And there is no non-volatile power plant on it.

[anakonda]

The Germans always knew how to build submarines, it’s in their blood.

[saag]

the Japanese did stirling at themselves with a power of 800 hp

[prabiz]

Ours are BETTER!

[seregatara1969]

only two 120 kW generators - it sounds a little

[Fregate]

Two modules with generators of 120 kW each. In one module by itself more than one generator.

The representative of TKMS said at the exhibition that “the boat of the 218SG project will be equipped with the same air-independent power plant, that the boat of the 214 project - that is, two HDW / Siemens electrochemical generators with a power of 120 kW each.”
This is 240 kW! I wonder how such a large ship will go at such power? 326 horsepower!
Perhaps enough for underwater running ... But for a surface diesel, that is?
The dynamic parameters of the ship are interesting. If this is the only power unit (single engine), then not impressive!

[Frigate]

Not at all normal. Sell ​​submarines, and then to the whole world to unclassify the characteristics. Maybe the Germans also installed lighthouses on them.

[ilya_oz]

Well, the characteristics of Varshavyanka are known to everyone and nothing.

[new communist]

You forget about Singapore’s tactics, you don’t need to guard the coast of great power, it’s not to go to Cuba at 61.

[goose]

Who knows what a hefty transparent washer shows in the area of ​​the screw near the model.

[Dyatko Nebatko]

Screw! But the view is classified!

[ARES623]

About VNEU at 214 they wrote for a long time. No information on the weapons complex. Declassified TTX? Where is the TTX, length-width? Some crap.

[askof]

For ARES623

Where is the TTX, length-width? Some kind of crap.

You missed the word "partially", that is, quite a bit

[Sanny]

Somewhere you can read about the principle of air operation of independent submarines? Where does the oxygen come from?
