Confirming all reports of the past ten years as to the pitiful real state... lack of parts for maintenance, readiness for deployment, lack of munitions gor training. At one time in the past few years the had not one single sub available for active patrol. Every one was in port for repairs/replacement.
All token elements in Afghanistan were tiny units such as the highly publicized “Fuchs” platoon size CBN detection unit.
not a real Landser in the bunch...
