Today portuguese navy received it´s first U209PN named TRIDENTE to replace 40 plus years old DAPHNE clase subs.
we are receiving two subs TRIDENTE and ARPAO .
they were built in kiel germany
the portuguese navy will operate them from Lisbon naval base in the mouth of the tagus rive
last portuguese sub was BARRACUDA who is still operative and will became a museum soon
The PN operate subs continuosly since the begining of the 20th century , one of the oldest to do so in europe.
we hope we will operate this SUBS in NATO an soberany missions in Atlantic ocean mostly between mainland Portugal Azores and Madeira Islands.
Mainland Portugal Azores and Madeira Islands is part of our exclusive economic area one of the largests in europe.
We are trying to extend our economic area to the limits of our continental plattfom further into the atlantic.
we don´t have real confrontation with our neighbors nor territorial disputes but some small rocky islands in the atlantic , SELVAGENS,are visited by our spanish friends because they are close to canary islands .
