This is what I want on doomsday.

I have no idea what she's sitting on.

Four of these tubes are larger 26-inch tubes—the size is rare for a Western-built submarine—capable of launching small commando teams

I suppose you could read that several ways: small dudes, or just a few of them, but still, small dudes.

Would take bigger huevos than I got to cram me into a 26" torpedo tube and launch me. What happened to escape trunks?

You got to assume their gear comes out later.

Now they will have a total of 6 nuclear capable subs. The folks who support Islamic proxy nations in wars against Israel , along with those doing the fighting will be targeted together if a Holocaust situation occurs for the Jewish state. God help them, because Mohammed isn’t God but rather some hyped up prophet... If I am right, then they can write me down as a prophet too someday;)

All manner of Glory can be gained in combating EVIL(Islam) in a submarine..

A nuclear scorpion's tail is exactly what Israel needs.

Iranians need to know, should they build the bomb and their government attack Israel, that after the counterattack, the largest concentration of living Iranians will reside in southern California. The ultimate in disproportionality: you squash Israel, Israel squashes you!

“But the maximum distance before needing to be refueled is around 9,200 miles at a speed of eight knots underwater. This puts the submarines in range of Iran.”

Somehow short of range? The far smaller German Type 212 submarines have a range of 8,000 nm or 9,200 miles. The bigger Type 214 have a range of about 12,000 miles. The Dolphin class are even bigger than Type 214. I expect them to have a range of about 12,000 nm to reach the Persian Gulf unrefueled by traveling around Africa.

The small anti ASW helicopter missile is called IDAS:

Although not admitted by the Israeli government, the Dolphin II is widely believed to soon possess nuclear-tipped Popeye Turbo cruise missiles.

"SHALOM, MOTHER----ERS!"

as the diesel engines—used for running on the surface—rest and recharge.

Diesel engines do not "recharge".
