The Type 216 is a submarine design concept announced by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft based on the Type 212/214. It is a larger design targeted to meet the needs of the Australian Collins class submarine replacement project, also known as Sea 1000, and the needs of other countries including Canada and India.[2] The design is double hulled, constructed of HY80 steel, includes a PEM fuel cell power plant, and lithium-ion batteries.[3][4]

Type 218 submarine
The Type 218SG is a submarine class ordered by the Republic of Singapore Navy from ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. The deal for two submarines is expected to cost 1 billion Euros ($1.36 billion) with the first delivery in 2020, which includes logistics and crew training. These submarines with the previously acquired Archer-class with replace Singapore's Challenger-class submarines.
Design
The customized design is oceangoing and larger than the Challenger-class and Archer-class submarines operated by the Singapore Navy. The design is expected to be influenced by the export Type 214 submarine or Type 216 submarine, which has been designed for the potential needs of several other navies (Australian, Canadian and Indian). Features will include AIP and a combat system designed by both Atlas Elektronik and ST Electronics.
Competitors
DCNS competed to supply 3 submarines to the Singapore Navy for $1.8 billion.

Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft
Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (often abbreviated HDW) is a German shipbuilding company, headquartered in Kiel. It is part of the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) group, owned by ThyssenKrupp. The Howaldtswerke shipyard was founded in Kiel in 1838 and merged with Hamburg-based Deutsche Werft to form Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) in 1968. The company's shipyard was formerly used by Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft until the end of World War II.
History
HDW was founded October 1, 1838 in Kiel by engineer August Howaldt and entrepreneur Johann Schweffel under the name Maschinenbauanstalt und Eisengießerei Schweffel & Howaldt (Machine Factory and Iron Foundry Schweffel & Howaldt), initially building boilers.
The first steam engine for naval purposes was built in 1849 for the Von der Tann, a gunboat for the small navy of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1850, the company built an early submarine, Brandtaucher, designed by Wilhelm Bauer. It had been intended to build the boat in Rendsburg but Danish forces advanced too close during the First Schleswig War, so construction was moved to Kiel.
