Taiwan’s first locally designed stealth missile corvette, the 500-tonne 
Tuo Chiang (Tuo River), began sea trials of its propulsion system. 
The ship was towed from the Lung Teh Shipbuidling Co at the 
port of Nanfangao  in Yilan County and sailed to waters south of Turtle 
Island. 
Each costs about US $ 72.39 million. 
 
The armaments of the vessel, which is described as an “aircraft 
carrier-killer” by media outlets, include eight Hsiung Feng II or eight
 Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missiles, an Otobreda 76mm gun, 12.7mm 
machine guns and a MK15 Phalanx close-in weapons system.  Construction of 
the vessel began in November 2012. 
 
It has a
 top speed of about 70kph and a range of 2,000 nautical miles (3,704km). 
It is 60.4m long and 14m wide, and carries a crew of 41. 
The navy said the ship, with its high mobility, strong firepower and 
stealth features, will enhance national defense.The navy plans to 
commission between eight and 12 of the corvettes. 
 
 
The twin-hulled design
 of the corvette enabled it to maintain high-speed navigation.The navy 
said the tests checked whether the engine can meet the requirements of 
traveling at high and low speeds.The vessel was scheduled to dock at 
Suao military port. 
Assembly and testing of its Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung
 Feng III anti-ship missiles are to be carried out before the navy puts 
the vessel through nine months of tactical testing.

Comparable TYPE 214 SUB VS AMUR 1650 SUB

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A Layman's analysis : </div>
 
1.INTRODUCTION 
 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i441/somnath30/INTRODUCTION.jpg" /> 
 
 
AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE 
• It is a new 4th gen diesel electric ,export version submarine which is have been laid down at the Admiralteiskiye Verfi 
state-owned shipyard in St. Petersburg.Designed to destroy hostile 
submarines and surface ships, to protect friendly naval bases, 
seacoast and communications, as well as to carry out reconnaissance 
missions. 
 
TYPE 214 SUBMARINE 
• The Type 214 is a diesel-electric submarine developed by 
Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW). It features diesel propulsion
 with an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens polymer 
electrolyte membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells. The Type 214 submarine
 is derived from the Type 212, but as an export variant it lacks some of
 the classified technologies of its smaller predecessor. 
 
It is well equipped to undertake a wide scope of missions ranging from
 operations in littoral waters to ocean-going patrols. The modular 
weapon and sensor mix, in combination with the submarine's 
air-independent features, makes the Class 214 predestined for 
•anti-surface ship and anti-submarine operations 
•intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance tasks 
•Special Forces operations.

2.SIZE 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" height="640" src="http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i441/somnath30/SIZE.jpg" width="538" /> 
 
AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE 
• surface displacement: 1765 m³ /1,675 tons 
• Submerged displacement:2500-2600 m³/2,800 tons 
• length: 66.8 m 
• pressure hull diameter: 7.1 m 
• Height :8.2m 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/fileadmin/editor/listovki/Amur_1650_eng.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/fileadmin/editor/listovki/Amur_1650_eng.pdf</a> 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/677.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amur / Lada Class - Project 677</a> 
 
TYPE 214 SUBMARINE 
 
• surface displacement:1,690 t (surface) 
• Submerged displacement:1,860 t (Submerged) 
• length: 213 feet 3 inches (65 m) 
• pressure hull diameter: 20 feet 8 inches (6.3 m) 
• Height :19 feet 8 inches (6 m) 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_214_submarine" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Type 214 submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a> 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.jeuxfrancophone.com/francois/smfiles/212-214-Scorp.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scorpene vs T-212 vs T-214</a> 
 
so amur 1650 is considerably larger sub than type 214 sub 
 
 
3.PERFORMANCE 
 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" height="640" src="http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i441/somnath30/performance.jpg" width="515" /> 
 
 AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE 
• Speed:19 kts (submerged) 
• Diving depth:300m-(maximum) 
• Range: (AIP) 300 -500 nm 
<img alt=":(" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" src="http://defence.pk/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" title="Frown :(" />snorkel),4000 -6000nm 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/fileadmin/editor/listovki/Amur_1650_eng.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/fileadmin/editor/listovki/Amur_1650_eng.pdf</a> 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/677.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amur / Lada Class - Project 677</a> 
 
 
TYPE 214 SUBMARINE 
 
• Speed:20 kt submerged / fuel cells: 2-6 kt estimated 
• Diving depth: more than 250 m officially, 400 m estimated 
• Range: 420 nmi @ 8 kt (780 km @ 15 km/h) submerged 
: 1,248 nmi @ 4 kt (2,310 km @ 7 km/h) fuel cells 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_214_submarine" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Type 214 submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a> 
 
so type 214 has much better performance in terms of range & speed & DIVING DEPTH as compare to AMUR 1650 SUB

6.AIP SYSTEM (POWER SUPPLY) 
 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i441/somnath30/AIPSYSTEMS.jpg" /> 
 
AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE 
 
• The provision is made for the boat to be fitted with an 
air-independent propulsion plant with electrochemical generators to 
considerably increase submerged endurance and cruising range. The plant 
with stock of reagents is located in a special compartment 
module, which can be incorporated into the submarine during construction
 or repair / refit.

•. According to estimates, Kristall-27E AIP system will increase the Amur Class submarines' submerged endurance by 15 to 45 days (the longer endurance is ensured by a short-term operation of the diesel engine in the snorkeling mode). 
 
•The Kristall-27E AIP plant, featuring the intermetallid storage of 
hydrogen, cryogenic storage of oxygen and low-temperature 
electrochemical generator with alkali matrix electrolyte, fully meets 
all requirements including those of fire/detonation safety, and can 
beat the AIP system of Project 212 submarines, surpassing it in terms of
 fuel efficiency and shore-based support facilities due to the 
availability of dedicated autonomous shore-based refueling complex. 
 
•The shore-based refueling complex does not integrally belong to the AIP
 system. However, it can be supplied optionally: this feature 
contributes to the competitiveness of the Russian project. Customer will
 receive in a single package the autonomous refueling complex which 
will provide hydrogen and oxygen for the submarine's AIP system in peace
 and war time

RECENT UPDATES 
 
•TsKB Rubin is testing an AIP generator for submarines, RIAN reported in
 Sep 13 according to Rubin's Gen Director Andrey Dyachkov. He 
criticized the German hydrogen elements for flammability of their 
storage. The currently developed Russian AIP is built on the same 
electro-chemical generation principle, as hydrogen elements, but uses 
different less flammable reagents. The chemical ingredients used in the
 new AIP are not disclosed however. Like foreign analogs the last 
Russian AIP is built in plug-in module. Dyachkov also said Rubin is 
working in parallel to improve the lithium-ion batteries for subs. 
Currently the installation of lithium-ion batteries allows to make 
underwater time longer on 40%, while it's only 35-40% of the 
theoretically limits of this technology. 
 
TYPE 214 SUBMARINE 
• Performance of the AIP system has been increased withtwo Siemens PEM fuel cells which produce 120kW per module 
 
• In Type 214 submarines the two BZM 120 fuel cell modules are connected to the ship’s power system via a DC/DC converter 
allowing adaptation of the fuel cell power plant to different battery voltage levels .This becomes 
important in retrofit projects in which an integrated fuel cell system, consisting of the fuel cells, oxygen and hydrogen 
storage tanks, control system, process equipment and product water 
tanks,is integrated into an already existing submarine during a major 
overhaul. 
 
• These service proven components completely satisfy military specification requirements with respect to magnetic signature, 
low electrical stray field characteristics, system safety standards, acoustic properties, and shock/vibration criteria.

• Endurance: 3 weeks without snorkeling, 12 weeks overall 
Using the AIP system on submerged patrol and intercept missions 
enables the boat to remain submerged for up to 13 days at a speed of 4 
kt. Submerged sprint speeds of between 16 and 20+ kt are possible for 
periods of a few hours several times during a 50 day mission. At a 
speed of 6 kt the mission range is almost 12,000 n miles. Endurance will
 be 84 days.The fuel cell works at an operating temperature of 70 to 
80ºC, which makes the submarine difficult to detect using external heat 
sensors.

Regarding AIP system TYPE 214 SUBMARINE has a
 better Siemens PEM fuel cells(BZM 120)AIP system which give sub much 
more endurance days & energy efficient AIP system as compare to AMUR
 1650 SUBMARINE's Kristall-27E AIP system.But russian AIP systems are 
claimed to be more safer as compare to german AIP system as they use 
less flammable reagents as claimed by russians.Russians are now 
currently working & developing 3rd gen AIP system which can give 
them nearly 90 days endurance

• MINES :24 external naval mines (optional) 
 
 AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE has a advantage of 
supersonic ANTISHIP cruise missile /LACM likes of brahmos over TYPE 214 
SUB & that too at capabilty of firing SIX missiles in a salvo,while 
it gives an extra option Of VLS capability too on demand of 
customer.While Type 214 sub lacks an effective antiship cruise/lacm 
having sub sonic SUB HARPOON missile & it can only do that with 4 
tubes While AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE has 18 torpedoes capabilty & TYPE 
214 SUB has 16 torpedoes capabilty while skhval torpedoes are more 
faster & has less range compare to DM2A4 mod 4 Torpedo so advantage 
nullified for amur 1650 sub against TYPE 214 SUB.While mines capabilty 
AMUR 1650 has the advantage ,but one thing that clearly gives TYPE 214 
SUB a unique capabilty is the ability to launch to engage air threats 
whilst submerged, and to have the first tube-launched missile that 
does not emerge in a capsule, but is fired directly from the torpedo 
tubes through IDAS missile, which AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE doesnt have . 
 
SO overall AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE has more fire power than TYPE 214 SUB thanks to brahmos missile & also with VLS capability

AMUR 1650 SUBMARINE 
 
• The low noise level of the submarine’s equipment and systemic 
utilization of advanced acoustic protection facilities provide for 
reduction of the noise level produced by Amur-1650 by several times than
 that of other submarines of this class. 
 <a class="externalLink" href="http://militaryforces.ru/weapon-2-26-164.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Russian Military Forces | Aviation | Navy | Infantry firearms | Communications | Ground systems | Weapon photogallery</a> 
 
• A new technology has been introduced for application of the anti-sonar coating of the new generation “Molniya” (“Lightning”). 
 
 <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.admship.ru/en/19" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Admiralty Shipyards - AMUR Submarine</a> 
 
• The AIP system based on oxygen / hydrogen fuel cells increases the 
Lada Class submerged endurance from 15 to 45 days. It also reduces 
noise by avoiding the need for frequent battery recharge by diesel 
generators. 
 
• An anechoic tile coating on the outer hull reduces noise & a skewed seven-bladed propeller. 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://army.russiansabroad.com/detail.aspx?id=navy&detail=amur1650" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://army.russiansabroad.com/detail.aspx?id=navy&detail=amur1650</a> 
 
• According to Russian reports, it is one of the most quiet and lethal submarines ever built.

TYPE 214 SUBMARINE 
 
• A hull shape, which has been further optimised for hydrodynamic and stealth characteristics, and a low-noise propeller
 combine to decrease the submarine's acoustic signature.Thus, the 
hull design and its hydrodynamic form emphasise stealth 
capabilities, offering good low signature features including both 
self-generated noise and flow noise and magnetic signature.

• The propelling power is provided by a seven-blade Skew-Back propeller 
whose extremely low rotation speed prevents cavity and which 
gener*ates thrust silently even at high speeds. 
 
• SPHINX Radar System is a FMCW transceiver
 which can't be detected by ESM systems in medium terms. This technology
 is so called LPI radar, which means "Low probability of intercept".
 The transmitting power is lower than the power of a mobile phone 
but the resolution more precise compared to high power Pulse radar. 
Thales SPHINX radar is a tactical radar, designed for submarines. 
 
 
• A submarine that uses fuel cells rather than a diesel engine to 
recharge its batteries produces much less sound while doing and 
consequently the effective detection range of many of the current 
passive acoustic sonobuoys is reduced. 
 Using the Siemens PEM fuel cells enabled AIP system
 the Type 214 sub on submerged patrol and intercept missions enables 
 the boat to remain submerged for up to 13 days at a speed of 4 kt. 
Submerged sprint speeds of between 16 and 20+ kt are possible for 
periods of a few hours several times during a 50 day mission. At a speed
 of 6 kt the mission range is almost 12,000 n miles. Endurance will 
be 84 days.The fuel cell works at an operating temperature of 70 to 
80ºC, which makes the submarine difficult to detect using external 
heat sensors. 
 
so both sub are designed specifically bearing in stealth in mind ,while AMUR 1650 SUB has better suface coating & materials 
while TYPE 214 SUB has better AIP & LPI sphinx radar along with 
stealthy hull cross section & shaping which gives Type 214 
a edge over amur 1650 in terms of stealth . 
 
 
CONCLUSION 
 
Well before jumping into conclusion we should take into consideration 
those negative points which are alleged against TYPE 214 SUBMARINE like 
1. Hellenic navy reported many problems 
 * instability while traveling on the surface, the boat rolls excessively in bad weather. 
 * Attack periscope vibrates at speeds greater than 3 knots; 
 * The air-independent propulsion system has lower output power than 
specified; the unit must be shut down after several hours of 
sailing due to higher than normal operating temperatures; 
 * Increased propeller cavitations; 
 * Seawater leakage into hydraulic systems; 
 * Problems with the proper function of the flank arrays.

well one may argue that these are deliberate tactics by greece which had
 bankrupt economy & couldnt afford to procure such sub so that to 
avoid payment for these subs by giving these excuses.But irony is korea 
also had some similar problems but 
majority of them have been resolved . 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2008/03/15/2008031500137.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">? ?? &#39; ?&#39; - 1 ??</a> 
While these problems in the South Korean Type 214s have been reportedly 
resolved, the noise level has yet to be reduced as promised by HDW. The 
company was fined $4.1 million by DAPA in February 2008 for ongoing 
technical problems. In November, a South Korean National Assembly 
demanded price reductions for the remaining six submarines, arguing that
 HDW was using the South Korean market to correct faults in the Type 214
 to increase the submarine's overall international export potential. It 
is uncertain if DAPA received a price reduction for the fourth unit when
 it was contracted to DSME. 
<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.seapower-digital.com/seapower/seapower_sample/?pg=52#pg52" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Seapower - February 2008</a>. 
But all in all many problems in TYPE 214 has been resolved .

So one can clearly see that TYPE 214 sub 
excels in allmost all department in comparision to AMUR 1650 sub, 
leaving aside certain few departments . 
 Well clear advantage AMUR 1650 SUB has over TYPE 214 sub is 
* SIZE 
* FIRE POWER (BRAHMOS MISSILE) 
* VLS CAPABILITY 
 
Well that criteria is also going to be overcomed as HDW has started development of TYPE 216 SUB to fullfill the criteria of 
INDIAN NAVY's PROJECT 75 I programme 
 
 
TYPE 216 SUB 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://www.navyrecognition.com/images/stories/oceania/australia/submarines/type_216_hdw_u_216/HDW_type216_type_216_U-216_ssk_top.jpg" /> 
 
EXTRA FEATURES 
 
• Bigger size Length: 89 m; Breadth: 8.1 m ;Maximum Draft: 6.6 m 
 
• Double hull design. 
 
• AIP system enabled which gives it endurance of 80 days same as nuclear sub 
 
• Vertical Launch System (2.5 m diameter to deploy cruise missiles or UUV) 
 
• Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) to deploy special forces

Well India can also make provision to have brahmos fitted into TYPE 216 
also ,and later it can also be armed with NIRBHAY Sub launched LACM 
missile.So with all the extra features & correction of almost all 
faults from TYPE 214 sub , HDW's next 
gen TYPE 216 SUB looks the best eligible contender for INDIAN NAVY's PROJECT 75 I programme. 
 
FROM THE AUTHOR: 
 I had tried my level best to present & give as much accurate information on both the subs i could find .Well 
after all this is a layman's analysis not professional so mistakes can 
 also happen ,& i would welcome all ur views & suggestion if i 
am wrong on any grounds. 
I hope everyone would like & appreciate my hard work & most 
importantly distinguish which SUB suits our future defence needs
