Israel's Submarine Fleet
(Israel Defense) Or Heller - The INS (Israeli Navy Submarine) Tanin, an AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion) Dolphin-Class submarine, is the Navy's latest and most advanced. The commander of this half a billion dollar, German-built submarine, which reached Israel in September 2014, is Lt.-Col. (Commander) Guy, 36, who for four years commanded the INS Leviathan submarine. The IDF Navy's current estimates maintain that Lebanon and Syria do not possess the capability of spotting Israeli submarines at sea, but the Egyptians possess advanced submarine detection capabilities.
