A successful German-Italian partnership began with the construction of the submarine class 212A. Portugal is now also benefiting from the advantages of the tri-national partnership.
25 years ago, on 22 April 1996, Germany and Italy signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to mark the beginning of a far-reaching partnership in the field of submarines. The aim was not only to build the pioneering U 212A class submarines as successors to the German 206 class and the Italian Sauro class. Even at this time, the partnership was already looking far into the future.
Following the procurement phase, a supplement was added to the MoU on 2 September 2002. This now focussed on the joint in-service support of the class of new boats. The supplement focused on the following core areas, which still characterise this successful cooperation today:
