The Type 212 class is a highly advanced design of non-nuclear submarine developed by the Kiel Naval Construction Yard. It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens proton exchange membrane (PEM) compressed hydrogen fuel cells. The submarine can operate at high speed on diesel power or switch to the AIP system for silent slow cruising, staying submerged for up to three weeks without surfacing and with no exhaust heat. The system is also said to be vibration-free, extremely quiet and virtually undetectable. The boats of the 212 class are named after the submarine aces of the Imperial German Navy.
