  Dolphin class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dolphin class is a non-nuclear type of submarine developed and constructed by Howaldtswerke -Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) for the Israeli Navy.
The main differences are in size (1,640-ton for the Dolphin class vs. 1,500-ton for Type 212) and propulsion (conventional diesel-electric rather than the fuel cell air-independent propulsion (AIP) incorporated into the Type 212).
USS Dolphin (SS-169) and USS Dolphin (AGSS-555), unique submarines of the United States Navy, are sometimes considered to be the single members of their respective Dolphin -classes.

 Dolphin of the Month
Risso's Dolphins prefer warm temperate and tropical offshore waters, they have been found in temperatures ranging from 4.5 to 28 degrees celsius and are only seen close to shore when the continental shelf is narrow.
Risso's dolphins have been seen as far north as Newfoundland and the Shetlands (N. Atlantic), and the Gulf of Alaska (N. Pacific).They prefer deep offshore waters, although around Britain and Ireland they are usually recorded within 11km (7 miles) of the coast.
While the age at which these animals reach sexual maturity is not known, it appears to occur when the dolphins are approximately 8.5 to 9.2 feet in length (2.6-2.8 m) in both sexes, and probably less than 13 years of age.

The last significant improvement of its navy was in 1996; the four subs underwent a $133 million upgrade to acquire the capability to fire anti-ship missiles and NT37 wire-guided torpedoes.
Each Dolphin would reportedly be able to carry five modified Sub-Harpoons, with a range of 80 miles, as well as 16 torpedoes.

 SS-169 V-7 Dolphin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
With a length of 319 feet and a displacement only a little more than half that of her three predecessors, Dolphin was clearly an attempt to strike a happy medium between those latter ships and earlier S-class submarines, which were little more than large coastal boats.
Interestingly, however, Dolphin’s size and weight were very nearly ideal for the range and duration of the war-patrols that became customary in the Pacific during World War Two, and indeed, the war-time Gato (SS-212), Balao (SS-285), and Tench (SS-417) classes had similar dimensions.
Early in the war, Dolphin herself made three patrols from Pearl Harbor without notable distinction, and her deteriorating material condition soon led to restricting her to training duties — first in Hawaii, and then in New London for the duration of the war.

Three 1,925 ton Type 800 Dolphin class submarines have been built in German shipyards for the Israel Navy.
The project to build the Israeli Navy's third submarine, named "Tekumah," was launched in Germany on 09 July 1998 with the participation of Defense Ministry Director General Ilan Biran and other naval officers.
The 1,720-ton Dolphin class is evidently somewhat larger than the 1,500-ton Type 212 submarines, and incorporates a conventional diesel-electric propulsion system rather than the AIP system.

Israel's three Dolphin Class submarines were designed by Ingenieurkontor Lubeck Prof Gabler Nachf GmbH (IKL), a subsidiary of Howaldtswerke-Deutche Werft AG (HDW) based in Lubeck, Germany.
A schedule had originally been planned for the construction of the three submarines by an industrial team consisting of HDW and Thyssen Nordseewerke, lead by Litton Ingalls Shipbuilding, but the project was cancelled in 1990.
Following the Gulf crisis in 1990 and 1991, contracts were placed for the construction of the Dolphin and the Leviathan, to proceed with funding support from the German government.

 Submarines - Israel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The detection that the submarines were equipped with two types of torpedo tubes (533mm and 650mm respectively) fueled speculation that the submarine might have a possible nuclear role, given that 533mm torpedo tubes would have been sufficient for the weaponry that was to be installed on board.
When questioned about this in parliament, the German government confirmed the presence of the 650mm tubes in the Dolphin submarines but could not provide an explanation, other than that the tubes were to be fitted with liners upon delivery to reduce the tubes' diameters to 533mm.
The German Green party, however, who had originally opposed the delivery of the first three dolphin submarines, demanded that, in the future, additional submarines could only be delivered to Israel on the basis of a binding assurance that they would not be used as nuclear weapons platforms.

Dolphin apps are still dependent upon MSVCRT.DLL (available on all platforms apart from a clean installation of Windows 95, though installed by Internet Explorer 4 and later so likely to be available even there), and MSCVP60.DLL.
