General characteristics
As a refinement of the previous Jupiter-class submarine, the design of the Máni class is largely identical. The submarines feature an internal layout nearly identical to Jupiter class and have the same hull design notwithstanding a lengthening by 2.5 metres. Their overall length is 85.4 m (280 ft 2 inches), and their beam measures 9.8 m (32 ft 2 inches). The class has a surfaced displacement of 4,800 metric tonnes when surfaced, and a submerged displacement of 5,300 tonnes. Draft is 9.8 m (31 ft 2 inches). Máni-class submarines were crewed by a complement of 130 men.
