The Galerna Class of submarines are Spanish built
versions of the French Agosta 90B class of diesel attack submarines.
The Agosta class submarines are French diesel attack submarines (SSKs)
used by Spain, Pakistan and formerly by France. The French Navy
grouped this model of non-nuclear submarine in their most capable
class as an océanique, meaning "ocean-going."
