Development
The design is double hulled with two decks, includes a fuel cell, Permasyn motor, and lithium-ion batteries.[2] It is a larger design targeted to meet the needs of the Australian Collins-class submarine replacement project, also known as SEA 1000, and the needs of other countries possibly including India and Canada.[4] The Royal Australian Navy eventually chose the Shortfin Barracuda, a conventional variant of the French Barracuda-class submarine and no Type 216 was put in production.[5]
