The attack submarines of the Mediterranean in 2018
Written by D-Mitch
In the following infographic, named The Attack Submarines of the Mediterranean in 2018, I depict all the attack submarines that are in active service in the Mediterranean Sea right now (and will continue to be part of their Navies until the end of 2018). There are also submarines that have submarine-launched cruise missile capability which belong to Algeria (Kilo class with Club-S) and Israel (Dolphin I/II class with Popeye Turbo). Moreover, there are one two countries in the region with submarines in their inventories equipped with Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) system, which is Greece (five in its inventory) and Israel (two in active service). It should be mentioned also that from the 21 the countries with coastlines on the Mediterranean Sea, only seven navies (7) have submarines in their fleet. Specifically, Turkey has the most numerous fleet but France has all its submarines nuclear-powered while Greece has five (5) of its eleven (11) submarines (only one boat less than Turkey) equipped with AIP. Furthermore, Egypt, has in its inventory the longest submarines in the region (Romeo class: 76.6 meters length) and the oldest as well and Algeria the largest ones (Kilo class:approximately 3,200 tons submerged).

In the following infographic, named The Attack Submarines of Latin America in 2018, I depict all the attack submarines that are in active service in Latin America right now (and will continue to be part of their Navies until the end of 2018). Please note that in comparison with the previous graph about The Attack Submarines of Europe in 2017 (updated for 2018), there is no nuclear-powered submarine (SSN) in any Navy (at least until Brazil commissions its first vessel after 2020), neither there is a submarine equipped with Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) system (the Chilean Scoprene class submarines are fitted but not with the system and will receive it in a future refit). It should be mentioned also that from the 21 countries of Latin America, only seven navies (7) have submarines in their fleet; Peru has the most numerous fleet but Brazil and Chile the most modern submarine fleets in the region. Moreover, the 92% of the Latin American submarines are German-built (!). Also, Argentina, while it has in its inventory the largest submarine in the region (TR1700 class: 67 meters length and 2,100t displacement), none of its submarines is in active service.
