 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.

 SS-169 V-7 Dolphin
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.
