Project history: Type 214 (KSS II). The design was selected in 2000. The submarines are being built in South Korea with the technical assistance of Germany's Howaldtswerke. The Type 214 design is based on the Type 212 and an enhanced Type 209, with the air-independent propulsion and other export-approved systems derived from the German-Italian Type 212 submarine. Inner and outer hulls are of austenitic steel. The submarines have 10% reserve buoyancy. Maximum diving depth is 400 meters. Have the hydrogen peroxide Siemens Polymer Electrolite Membrane (PEM) fuel-cell an-independent auxiliary propulsion system. Employ the STN Atlas Elektronik ISUS 90 combat data system. The sonar array includes cylindrical MF passive array forward, an MF/LF passive flank system (with three arrays per side), a towed LF passive array, an active ranging set and a bow-mounted active mine-avoidance set. Four of the eight weapons tubes have expulsion systems to enable launching antiship missiles, the others will be of the swim-out variety.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
