Italian Navy's Type U212A submarine
UPI reported Friday.
It's about 183.7 feet long, 22.9 feet in the beam, has a speed of 20 knots submerged.
The Romeo Romei was launched last July and is in its outfitting stage. Among its features are sensors that enable long-range 3D detection and stealth technologies.
"In the next few months, many other trials will be conducted in order to ensure high-accuracy and rigorous testing of all systems and equipment, as well as to evaluate the submarine performance," the Italian Navy said.
