In 2004, Western intelligence noticed that a new type of diesel-electric submarine was under construction at Wuhan Shipyard in central China.
The submarine, whose official designation remains unknown, appears to be a completely new design with no evident inheritance from previous Chinese indigenous submarines.
The design of the submarine appears to be under certain influence by the Russian Kilo class, and the submarine is though to be comparable to the Russian-made submarine in general performance.

Salvatore Todaro, a Type 212A built by Fincantieri for the Marina Militare (Italian Navy), was commissioned in March 2006, and her sister Sciré was commissioned in May 2006.
In the Type 212 this has been countered by storing the fuel and oxidiser in tanks outside the crew space, between the pressure hull and outer light hull.
Currently, the Type 212A is capable of launching the wire-guided DM 2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight anti-shipping torpedoes or short-range missiles from its six torpedo tubes, which use a water ram expulsion system.
