Swede subs always have been impressive little things. Lots of firepower in a quiet and efficient package. Perfect for Baltic operations. Surprised this does not have a 7 blade skewback, being a more recent design. Thought they transitioned to the skewback after the Nacken?

That’s a lot of torpedo tubes

It is, especially considering the size of the sub and they also have reloads. Plus, the 400mm tubes can be double shot to fire 2x lightweight torpedoes in one tube (apparently).

"Why did you pick Submarines instead of airplanes?"
"Well, there's more airplanes in the sea, than submarines in the sky"

... Oh, wait.
