The length of the submarine, currently under construction, reaches 89 m, nearly the length of a football field. For means of comparison and proportions – the length of American's "Nautilus", the world's first nuclear submarine which began operating in the fifties of the last century, was 97 m.

israel's homeland security does not begin at the country's borders. To avoid some existential threats, Israel has a very long arm. One "finger" on that arm: is the "Dolphin model 216"³ submarine. We present the first details about the capabilities of this special submarine.

Guy, all the Zios want out of this sub is a nuke tipped cruise missile launched from tubes. It isn't trying to make SLBMs.

Obama and Hagel (if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary) will stab Israel in the back using non-military tactics.

Dolphin submarines are the last leg of Israeli Nuke deterrence along with land based ICBM's (Jerico).
It is armed with Nuclear capable Cruise Missile with a range of 1500km and according to fas:

In May 2000 Israel is reported to have secretly carried out its first test launches from two German-built Dolphin-class submarines of cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The missiles launched from vessels off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean are said to have hit a target at a range of about 1,500 kilometers [about 930 statute miles]. Israel is reported to possess a 200kg nuclear warhead, containing 6kg of plutonium, that could be mounted on cruise missiles
