<HTML>Hi again, Fin,
Astute is to eventually replace the Brit. Trafalgars and is a hunter/killer nuke with cruise missile capability. Sort of the British equiv.to the Seawolf. The German 212 and 214 designs are cross overs from small coastal subs to longer endurance high seas diesel electric and fuel cell hybrids, capable of submerged ops of over two weeks without snorting. Extremely quiet with nasty fast, long range, wire guided, big bang torps. all three have covert ops capabilities. Obviously the little one can get into smaller hiding places. Rgds, RB</HTML>
