Israel’s newest Dolphin-class submarines which are part attack submarine, part nuclear strike ship and part commando taxis are undergoing trials in Germany.Dolphin-class submarines, which are 225 feet long are quieter than the nuclear-powered engines on American and Russian submarines and will carry nuclear-tipped Popeye Turbo cruise missiles.

When underwater, it will run on air-independent propulsion fuel cells. The craft will also be equipped with 10 torpedo tubes, German-made CSU-90 active radar, a PRS-3 passive ranging sonar, and a FAS-3 flank sonar.
