Type 212A is a conventional submarine design used by Germany and Italy, with documented fuel-cell air-independent propulsion. The image depicts German U-31; Italian construction by Fincantieri does not change the design origin recorded here.

Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew remain absent rather than mixing load conditions or configurations. Classified acoustic, sensor and magazine figures are not assigned.
