#1 Had to look it up. (Probably better resources out there than wike)

And I know France is getting up from the mat (thank you, much easier to like and respect those who like and protect themselves), but still can't quite get the 'yellow submarine' song out my head.

#2 Possible opportunity for the German HDW. The Indian Navy just loves the German subs that were assembled in Mumbai. Far superior to the Russian boats.

HDW will have to recruit a new Indian workforce though... a lot of skilled sub welders ended up in the Gulf welding water tanks for rich Arabs.
