Germans were the first country to provide the Dolphin Subs to Israel, which were capable to launch nuclear tipped cruise missiles.
The first two (Dolphin and Leviathan) were fully donated by Germany and the third (Tekumah) was paid for halfway by Israel. During the first Gulf War, German firms were accused of helping Iraq with its chemical weapons program, which led to protests in both Germany and Israel. To calm Israeli concerns, compensate Israel for economic losses and keep German shipyards occupied, then Chancellor of Germany Helmut Kohl approved an assistance package including the construction of two Dolphin submarines.
The names Dolphin and Leviathan hail from the retired Israeli WW-II era submarines of the British T class; the third boat Tekuma (translation: Revival) refers in memory of Dakar, the third Israeli boat of the T class which was lost with all Israeli crew in the Mediterranean Sea during delivery. The forthcoming boats Tannin and Rahav are names taken from retired Gal-class submarines, which were themselves named after even older Israeli S class boats.
The Federation of American Scientists and GlobalSecurity.org report that the four larger torpedo tubes are capable of launching Israeli built nuclear-armed Popeye Turbo cruise missiles (a variant of the Popeye standoff missile), and the US Navy recorded an Israeli submarine-launched cruise missile test in the Indian Ocean ranging 1,500 km (930 mi).

- Leviathan (trans. "Leviathan" or "whale") – delivered 1999 – commissioned 2000

اہم بات یہی ہے کہ ہماری دنیا ساتھ ہے- جب اپنے ہی غدار ہوں توغیروں سے کیا گلہ شکوہ
ہمیں ایک مرتبہ ایک فلسطینی ٹیچر ملا جو اسرائیل میں رہتا تھا ۔ اس نے ایک حیران کن بات کہی ‘ کہ اسرائیل سارا فلسطین لے لے مگر“ مسجد اقصئ “ ہمیں دے دے ۔ مگر اسرائیلی حکومت یہ کبھی نا مانے گی ۔ امریکی ‘ یورپی خود اسرائیل میں بیٹھے ہیں۔ ساری دنیا کی اکونمی انہی کے ہاتھ ہے ‘ پھر شور مچانے کا فائیدہ ۔

GERMANY guaranteed ISRAEL STATE SAFTIY with PARLIAMENTARY Decide and in order of Defense rule and regulation.reason of good will and Apologies for NAZI time.
The stupid Germans are still in the state of sorrow for what Hitler did. Do they have sences what the Israeli's are doing for the last 64 years to the Palestinian it is worst form of Apartheid the Palestinians are facing at the hand of Israel and Germany is also a very active contributor to the Israel for those acts of Terrorism to the Palestinian and Arab Population of Israel. WHAT EVER HITLER DID TO JEWS WAS WAS FOR MAX 4-5 YEARS AND NOT TO THE EXTENT THEY CRY ABOUT HOLOCAUST BUT TO MUCH LESSER EXTENT THAN THAT AND WHAT THE JEWS ARE DOING TO THE PALESTANIANS IS BEING DONE FOR THE LAST 64 (SIXTY FOUR) YEARS. THE JEWS ARE HELL OF A CROOK PEOPLE AND THE WORLD KNOWS THAT AND THEY ARE MILKING THE WEST FOR THAT PARTIALLY FAKE HOLOCAUST FOR THE LAST 64 YEARS AND DOING THE TERRORISM ON THE PALESTINIANS. SHAME ON ISRAEL, SHAME ON GERMANY AND SHAME ON ALL WHO ARE PART OF THIS CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE NATIVES OF THAT LAND I.E. THE PALESTINIANS.
(These Jews who are from the west are not the native of this land as they are White Europeans not Semite Jews.
