The submarine was scheduled to participate in exercises in the Skagerrak, the strait between southern Norway, southeast Sweden and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U-35 is a 212A-class boat, the same type that TKMS will build for Norway under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2017\/02\/03\/losing-vendor-in-norway-sub-deal-hopes-for-another-chance\/\">a multibillion-dollar deal<\/a> announced early this year. Italy also operates two boats of the class.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=a6d4efd2-ea96-47a1-88b2-cec5ac26b6fc\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the fierce competition between the two\r\nremaining bidders on a submarine deal, Germany&#8217;s TKMS beat out France&#8217;s DCNS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exactly how long the U-35 will be out of service was still unknown on Friday. Service officials hope to make an assessment next week about the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The submarine joins three ships already being overhauled at the Kiel shipyard. German military news service Augen Geradeaus, citing sea service data, reported that the U-31 will be in the yard until December, and the U-33 and U-36 are undergoing maintenance until February 2018 and May 2018, respectively. Additionally, the U-32 and U-34 are out of service and awaiting maintenance spots at the shipyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy officials blame bottlenecks in the procurement of spare parts for the submarines\u2019 downtime. While a comprehensive package of spare parts was a key aspect of any new acquisition during the Cold War, cost-saving measures adopted since then have resulted in parts no longer being kept in reserve, German Navy spokesman Capt. Johannes Dumrese told the newspaper group SHZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a statement by the sea service, the most recent acquisitions of the U-35 and U-36 will usher in improved maintenance policies. Irrespective of the U-35\u2032s fate, the Germany Navy expects to have three or four submarines ready for service in mid-2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service officials
