Archer-class Submarine
Strong but stealthy, the Archer-class can strike when opponents least expect it
Sharp eyes, stealthy movements
You will rarely see or hear the Archer-class submarine. Acquired from Sweden and modified for tropical waters, this craft is a masterpiece of silence.
Specifications of Archer-class Submarine
Size and Capacity
Submariners conduct blackout training where they learn to move around the submarine in complete darkness to operate essential equipment. As masters of the "blind man's walk", we can be sure that they know the vessel like the back of their hand - literally.
Length: 60.5 metres
Beam: 6.1 metres
Displacement: 1,400 tonnes (surfaced), 1,500 tonnes (submerged)
Crew: 28
Manoeuvrability
Even as it powers its way under the waves, the Archer-class does so quietly, as its body was designed to reduce noise and magnetic signature. Meanwhile their Air Independent Propulsion system makes them quieter still.
Speed: 8 knots (surfaced), over 15 knots (submerged)
Weapons and Capabilities
Its high-tech sonar allows this submarine to track targets at a tremendous distance. Then the submarine’s torpedoes step in, using their advanced acquisition capability.
