이번에는 남아프리카해군의 209형 잠수함 Manthatisi가 훈련에서 NATO 및 자국해군의 수상함을 모조리 '격침'시켰다고 자랑하네요.
그러나 209형 잠수함의 유일한 실전이었던 1982년의 포클랜드전쟁 때 <산 루이스>의 함장이었던 해군중령이 전쟁이 끝나고 5년이 지난 1987년 아르헨티나를 방문한 영국의 역사가 <마틴 미들브룩>에게 밝힌 인터뷰 내용을 보면 준비가 제대로 되지 않고 게다가 장비도 고장나서 아무런 전과도 올리지 못했습니다.
<산 루이스>는 영국해군 항공모함이나 상륙함 근처에도 못가봤고, 대신 자신을 잡으러 온 영국해군 호위함에게 SST-4 1발, 고래에게 Mk37 1발, 포클랜드 해협을 정찰하고 돌아가는 영국해군 호위함에게 또 SST-4 1발을 쐈지만 애꿎은 고래를 죽이고 호위함이 끌고 다니던 기만기만 날려버렸습니다.

SA submarine 'sinks' Nato fleet

A LONE South African submarine left some North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) commanders with red faces yesterday as it "sank" all the ships of the Nato Maritime Group engaged in exercises with the SA Navy off the Cape coast.
The S101 - or the SAS Manthatisi - not only evaded detection by a joint Nato and SA Navy search party, consisting of several ships combing the search area with radar and sonar; it also "sank" all the ships taking part in the exercise.
Several times during the exercise, that lasted throughout Monday night and yesterday morning, a red square lit up the screens where the surface ships thought the submarine was, but it remained elusive.
This gave Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota something to brag about when he landed on the SAS Amatola yesterday to speak to the media.
"To be able to frustrate detection by Nato nations is no mean achievement, it speaks of the excellence of the equipment we acquired for this purpose," Lekota said.
And while this left one of the world's strongest military alliances frustrated, it was also a sign that the group had a capable partner in Africa, Lekota said.
"With sustained interoperatability with foreign forces such as Nato we are well positioned to respond to any unforeseen circumstances that may confront either ourselves or other regions," he said.
Lekota was quite clear that a working relationship with Nato was desired. "They have a partner of reliable capability because we are forging working relations here," he said.
These sentiments were echoed by the commander of the Nato maritime group, Rear Admiral Michael Mahon.
"I can't speak for what the future will hold but certainly this was valuable. Africa is a strategic continent. The freedom of the seas, energy, security, they are all critical issue to Nato countries," he said.
