Israeli Navy to get 2 more Dolphin subs

The Dolphin was built according to Israeli specifications gleaned from Israel's experience. Its short and stout shape was tailor-made for Israel's special needs and it reportedly has considerable commando capability. It has a crew of 35 and can support 10 additional passengers. It has a maximum speed of 20 knots, has a range of 4,500 kilometers and, according to Jane's Defense Weekly, it has the capability to launch cruise missiles with nuclear warheads.

Chew on that Ahmadinejad. An Israeli sub with the capability to launch cruise missiles with nuclear warheads might be lurking in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran.
