Hey Penguin, you should live up to your name and keep your hands off writing.
Please do your homework before saying anything. Here are the facts about the type 206 subs and they are true.
Several years ago broke through U24, a German U-boat - now obsolete - type 206 A, during an exercise in the Caribbean, the defense of the U.S. carrier "Enterprise" and the simulated firing of a torpedo fan. U.S. Admiral said to have been furious when he was shown the photos by the German periscope.
One other submarine of the same type should have circled a U.S. hunter-killer of the "Los Angeles" class in a short distance several times, without the Americans discovered it. Witnesses reported that the U.S. officers who were on board the German boat, were "beads of sweat on his forehead."

Here is another one:
American Admiral was in a frenzy
Several years ago, U24 – German submarine today is obsolete type 206 A – during exercises in the Caribbean has been propeller polishing of ship able to overcome the defense system of the American aircraft carrier «Enterprise» and imitated launch torpedo fan. It is said that the American Admiral was beside himself when he was shown photographs taken through the German periscope.
Another boat of the same type allegedly repeatedly bypassed in close proximity American hunter class ” Los Angeles “, cleaning of sea chests in Ukraine and the Americans did not notice anything . Witnesses say that the American officers who were at that time on board a German submarine, “the lobby were beads of sweat .”

I think you are not properly comprehending my post. There is no question that conventional subs (including Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, German and British boats) have been succesful in penetrating CVN escort screens during exercises in the past. I've pointed this out on this forum several times. This vulnerability is the reason the US leased a Swedish Gotland SSK sub some years ago. However, that was not the point of my previous post, which was to respond to the assertion that the 206a is somehow a fantastic supersub, and by extension the Iranian sub also.
See. e.g.
