History
It was reported in 2005 that Fincantieri of Italy had entered into a partnership with Russia's Rubin Design Bureau to design a new diesel-electric submarine based on the Russian Amur-class submarine and featuring air independent propulsion (AIP) technology. In October 2006 at the Euronaval international arms show in France, Russia and Italy presented a mock-up model of a new-generation diesel submarine called S1000.[1]
In July 2014 it was reported that Fincantieri requested indefinite postponement of the project, citing political situation resulting from Russia's involvement in Ukraine crisis.[2][3] As of 2020[update], the project is likely still suspended.[4]
The project may not continue as Russia is moving forward with their Lada-class submarine and Italy is building two additional German Type 212 submarines in addition to the four already completed.
Design
The submarine was designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, reconnaissance missions, and transportation of up to 12 troops. It would have been 56.2 metres (184 ft 5 in) long, have a top speed of 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph) and be equipped with a new fuel cell-powered AIP system developed by Italy.
Designed primarily for exports to third countries, the new submarine was to feature Italian heavyweight, wire-guided Black Shark torpedoes and the Russian Club-S cruise missile system capable of hitting underwater, surface and land targets.[1]
Exports
Both Fincantieri and Rubin gave a joint presentation to the Indian Navy offering to build six S1000 boats for $8.1 billion[5] for its Project 75I-class submarine programme.[6] The other contenders for the project included the Scorpène class of France, the Type 214 submarine of Germany, and the Amur class from Russia.[7][8]
