Does this new class of submarine drop the screen doors?

They tried to pass off a fiberglass boat as a stealth fighter. What’s this? A culvert?

At great risk to my personal safety, I was able to smuggle out this photo of their submarine. I also discovered that it's propulsion system works with highly refined baking powder.

Probably suicide ships like the C.S.S. Hunley.

It [the new Iranian submarine class] measures 40.5 m long and 4.0 m wide at the waterline. That translates to a boat 132.9 feet long by 13.1 feet in beam. My guess is it is a coastal boat.

For a comparison,the German Type 212A air independent propulsion [AIP] diesel electric boat is 57.2 m (187.7 feet) × 7.00 m (23 feet). The Type 212A is state-of-the-art and it is well suited for blue water [open ocean] operations. The Iranian boat is suited only for local operations.
