The Tanin, Israel's fourth German-built nuclear-capable Dolphin sub — here
sailing on the Baltic for sea trials — has left HDW's Kiel, Germany, shipyard
for its new home in Haifa, Israel
TEL AVIV — The INS Tanin, Israel’s fourth of six planned
Dolphin-class submarines, has departed Howaldtswerke-Deutche Werft (HDW)
shipyard in Kiel, Germany, for the 4,000-mile trip to its home port in
Haifa.
The nuclear-capable air independent propulsion (AIP) submarine and its 50-man crew are expected to reach berth in two weeks, joining three earlier-model diesel-electric Dolphins operating with the Israel Navy’s Flotilla 7 for more than a decade.
Vice Adm. Ram Rutberg, Israel Navy commander, said the newest AIP submarine doubles the capabilities of Israel’s existing Dolphin fleet.
“It will be able to reach further and deeper, for a longer period of time, demonstrating force unknown to this day,” he said in a notice released Sept. 8 by the Israeli military.

Col. A., identified in the Sept. 8 release as the INS Tanin project director,
said the submarine and its crew had been training for months under rigorous
conditions in the Baltic and North Seas prior to departing the German
shipyard.
“The submarine’s crew has been tested by the rigorous standards of the Israel Navy and were found highly qualified,” the officer was quoted as saying. His last name was withheld from publication, ostensibly for security reasons.
Funded nearly one-third by Germany — with steel, propulsion components and other subsystems covered by annual US grant aid — the INS Tanin and a follow-on INS Rahav are nearly eight years in the making under a 2006 contract.

Israel took delivery of Tanin in May 2012 and Rahav in April 2013. The Rahav
is expected here by the middle of next year.
A sixth Dolphin-class submarine — the third AIP system of Israel’s eventual underwater fleet — is still under construction and years from delivery.

In 2012, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported that Israel’s submarine fleet has nuclear capabilities and that Berlin is aware of this, but has opted to publicly remain mum about it in order to avoid having to defend the deals.
The submarines, according to Der Spiegel, are equipped with Israeli-designed Popeye missiles, which can carry a warhead of up to 200 kilograms. The nuclear warheads are produced at Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor, the report said.

In a 2008 speech in the Knesset, Merkel declared that Israel’s security is part of her country’s “raison d’etat” (Staatsraison in German). Therefore, she vowed, “Israel’s security will never be open to negotiation.”

ZOG international in having a field day. White genocide everywhere you look, all while Zionist-plutocratic, austerity plagued White populations are taxed to death to subsidize the Zionist war machine. Israel ethnically cleanses the Palestinians, and Whites pay for it. The global Zionist-plutocracy ethnically cleanses White populations, and Whites pay for it.
When the Zionists want to ethnically cleanse any given group, they simply claim they don't "exist".
