Five variants of this submarine have been produced: Type 209/1100, Type 209/1200, Type 209/1300, Type 209/1400 and Type 209/1500.
The U-209PN ordered by the Portuguese Navy is actually a Type 214.[1]
Countries operating the Type 209 include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Greece, India, Indonesia, Peru, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey and Venezuela.
The first user was the Hellenic Navy which operates four Type 209/1100 and four Type 209/1200 submarines.
The biggest user is the Turkish Navy which operates six Type 209/1200 submarines (commissioned between 1976 and 1990) and eight Type 209/1400 submarines (commissioned between 1994 and 2007). At present, the Turkish Navy is also the largest operator of German-designed submarines in the world.
Type 209 submarines are generally armed with 14 torpedoes, apart from those used by Greece, South Korea and Turkey which are also armed with Sub-Harpoon missiles. It is also possible to upgrade these submarines with the latest air independent propulsion (AIP) systems.
Three new Type 209/1400 submarines were delivered to South Africa in 2006, costing $285 million each
