Malcolm Class Submarine
CoC Shipyards is developing the Malcolm Class submarine, which is a further improvement on the Connery Class which was never produced. The Manarthian Navy has ordered three Malcolm Class submarines. Construction of the first vessel has begun at the Aberdeen Shipyards for delivery in the near Future, while CoC Shipyards will build the second and third vessels at Kent..
The Malcolm will have an increased diving depth of over 400m, due to improvements in the pressure hull materials. Hull length is 65m and displacement 1,700t. Four of the eight torpedo tubes will be capable of firing missiles.
Performance of the AIP system has been increased with two Siemens PEM fuel cells which produce 120kW per module and will give the submarine an underwater endurance of two weeks. A hull shape which has been further optimised for hydrodynamic and stealth characteristics and a low noise propeller combine to decrease the submarine's acoustic signature.
The Integrated Sensor Underwater System ISUS 90, from STN ATLAS Elektronik integrates all sensors, command and control functions on board the submarine. BAE Systems provides the Link 11 tactical data link. The sensor suite of the U214 submarine consists of the sonar systems, an attack periscope and an optronic mast. The submarine's electronic support measures system and Global Positioning System sensors are also installed on the optronic mast.
