Scorpène is a family of conventional attack submarines adapted for different national customers. Hull length, energy storage and onboard equipment vary between those designs.
Malaysia's first Scorpene-class diesel-electric submarine docked at its Naval base in Port Klang on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur on September 3, 2009. Historical equipment reference photograph. It does not establish current availability or every detail of the named variant.

The system in detail
A streamlined single-hull exterior carries a forward sail and conventional stern surfaces. The selected baseline illustration is not a dimensional model of every exported boat.1
Naval Group’s combat-system architecture supports torpedo and selected missile integrations. Those installations depend on the customer contract and acceptance standard.1
This entry is a programme overview with a baseline illustrative model. Brazilian extended hulls and the newer Scorpène Evolved lithium-ion design require their own dimensions.1
Compare named national variants rather than a blended specification. Battery chemistry, patrol duration and submerged endurance need explicit operating assumptions.1
