Public summary
The Salta Type 209/1200 class is an older Argentine submarine class associated with training and historical undersea capability. Diesel-electric propulsion, sonar and torpedoes describe the platform's design, but its current value is limited by inactive or reserve status. The class should not be counted as a dependable operational submarine capability without stronger evidence of readiness.
