Since it docked in Israel, the Tanin has undergone a series of tests and been equipped with Israeli weapons, communications, and intelligence systems. At 68 meters (223 feet), the new submarine is longer than the others in the navy’s fleet. Its size allows it to be fitted with fuel tanks that let it move noiselessly and remain submerged for longer than the other submarines can.
