Germany approves sale of military submarine to Israel
2011-12-04
A senior German official said Wednesday that the government has approved the subsidized sale of another Dolphin-type military submarine to Israel.
This, presumably, is the one previously said to be cancelled because of Germany's objection to building permits issued for East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
The official said Germany has set aside €135 million ($180 million) in next year's budget to pay for about a third of its cost.

Israel already has three Dolphin submarines from Germany -- one half-funded and two entirely funded by Berlin.

#3  Might want to take it for a test-dive; after all, any boat can be a submersible----once.

#2  Well, it keeps the boat yards workings. Never know when you might need some U-Boats again to enforce paybacks on loans from people who have to import their oil someday.
