Program "Neptune II" (S 118 HS Okeanos only):
Upgrades and refits, including AIP capabilities very similar to Type 214, are so extensive that justify the S 118 boat as a new and separate class when compared to the rest of Type 209/1200 vessels. New dimensions are similar to Type 214 boats.

"Neptune II" upgrade including Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) insert was cancelled for the other 3 units of this class.
