The '''Scorpène-class submarines''' are a class of [[diesel-electric]] [[attack submarine]]s jointly developed by the [[France|French]] [[Naval Group]] (formerly the [[Direction des Constructions Navales|DCNS]]) and the [[Spain|Spanish]] company [[Navantia]]. It features diesel propulsion and an additional [[air-independent propulsion]] (AIP). It is now marketed as the Scorpène 2000.

==Scorpène characteristics==
The Scorpène class of submarines has three subtypes:<ref name="Forecast">{{cite web|url=http://www.forecastinternational.com/samples/f673_completesample.pdf/ |title=The Market for Submarines |date=August 2009 |publisher=Forecast International |access-date=13 May 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120417114703/http://www.forecastinternational.com/samples/f673_completesample.pdf |archive-date=April 17, 2012 }}</ref>
*'''CM-2000''' - conventional diesel-electric version 61.7 meters long. 
*'''AM-2000''' - [[air-independent propulsion]] (AIP) derivative.
**MESMA AIP, length stretched to 70 meters.
*'''CA-2000''' - downsized version for coastal missions.
*'''S-BR''' - [[Brazilian Navy]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.naval.com.br/blog/tag/scorpene/ |title=Novas pistas sobre o 'S-BR', o novo submarino convencional Brasileiro |date=6 May 2010 |publisher=www.naval.com.br |access-date=13 May 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100422024006/http://www.naval.com.br/blog/tag/scorpene/ |archive-date=22 April 2010 }}</ref> variant, a CM-2000 stretched to 70.62 meters to accommodate more batteries. 

The Chilean and Malaysian boats are fitted with the TSM 2233 [[Thomson-CSF|Mk 2]] sonar. The class can also be fitted with a 'S-Cube' sonar suite from [[Thales Group|Thales]].<ref name="bharat-rakshak.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Scorpene.html |url-status=dead |title=Project 75 – Scorpene SSK |work= bharat-rakshak.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330082622/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Scorpene.html |archive-date=30 March 2009 |access-date=28 March 2020}}</ref>

===Air-independent propulsion===
The French Module d'Energie Sous-Marine Autonome (MESMA) system is being offered by the French shipyard [[Naval Group]] for the Scorpène-class submarines. It is essentially a modified version of their nuclear propulsion system with heat being generated by [[ethanol]] and oxygen. The combustion of the ethanol and stored oxygen, at a pressure of {{convert|60|atm|MPa|abbr=on}}, generates steam which powers a conventional turbine power plant. This pressure-firing allows exhaust carbon dioxide to be expelled overboard at any depth without an exhaust compressor.

Each MESMA system costs around US$50–60 million.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}} As installed on the Scorpènes, it requires adding a new {{convert|8.3|m|ft|adj=on}}, 305-tonne hull section to the submarines, and enables a submarine to operate for more than 21 days under water depending on speed.

Naval Group is also developing second-generation hydrogen fuel cell AIP modules for future Scorpène models.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

=== Failed bids ===

==== Spain ====
In 2003, the Spanish government ordered four Scorpène AIP submarines worth €1,756 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.deagel.com/Conventional-Attack-Submarines/Scorpene-Basic-AIP_a000425003.aspx |title=Scorpene Basic-AIP |website=Deagel.com |access-date=24 October 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923213313/http://www.deagel.com/Conventional-Attack-Submarines/Scorpene-Basic-AIP_a000425003.aspx |archive-date=23 September 2015 }}</ref> However, the [[Spanish Navy]] cancelled the order, and ordered four {{sclass2|S-80|submarine|0}} submarines, instead. This has caused conflicts and controversies between Naval Group and [[Navantia]], as the latter is still involved in the construction of the submarines sold to India, Malaysia, and Chile, while the S-80 is offered on the export market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=108546 |title=Scorpène: DCNS et Navantia en instance de divorce |publisher=Mer et Marine |access-date=2011-12-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929154438/http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=108546 |archive-date=September 29, 2011 }}</ref> As an answer to the competition from the S-80, Naval Group designed its own enhanced version of the Scorpène called the {{sclass|Marlin|submarine|4}}, but little is known about this design and the Scorpène is still offered by France on the export market. The dispute was settled when Navantia gave up export rights on the Scorpène class, leaving Naval Group with sole responsibility for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lesechos.fr/12/11/2010/lesechos.fr/020927714393_sous-marins---dcns-et-navantia-reprennent-leur-liberte.htm |title=Sous-marins : DCNS et Navantia reprennent leur liberté |language=fr |work=Les Echos |last=Ruello |first=Alain |access-date=2017-02-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171009092315/https://www.lesechos.fr/12/11/2010/lesechos.fr/020927714393_sous-marins---dcns-et-navantia-reprennent-leur-liberte.htm |archive-date=2017-10-09 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== Poland ====
On 1 March 2011, the Naval Shipyard Gdynia of Poland and Naval Group offered a license to build a yet undisclosed number of modified Scorpène-class boats. The Scorpène design is competing with that of the German [[Type 214 submarine]].<ref name="gw">{{cite journal | first =Sławomir | last=Sowula | date =March 2011 | title =Gdyńska stocznia chce budować okręty podwodne | journal =[[Gazeta Wyborcza]] | issue =2011–03–03 | url=http://wyborcza.biz/biznes/1,100896,9192983,Gdynska_stocznia_chce_budowac_okrety_podwodne.html | access-date =24 October 2015 | language =pl | url-status =live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110307155250/http://wyborcza.biz/biznes/1,100896,9192983,Gdynska_stocznia_chce_budowac_okrety_podwodne.html | archive-date =7 March 2011 }}</ref>

==== Norway ====
In December 2016, the [[Norwegian Ministry of Defence]] announced that Norway would sign a contract for four new submarines before the end of 2019. These would either be Scorpène vessels from Naval Group or German U-boats from [[ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems|ThyssenKrupp]]. Norway would also be looking into possible cooperation on maintenance and construction with other potential buyers of the same submarines, such as Poland or the Netherlands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.regjeringen.no/no/tema/forsvar/innsikt/ubater/nyeubaterstatus/id2522100/|title=Nye ubåter - status desember 2016|publisher=Norwegian government|access-date=9 January 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110015837/https://www.regjeringen.no/no/tema/forsvar/innsikt/ubater/nyeubaterstatus/id2522100/|archive-date=10 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.aldrimer.no/dette-kan-avgjore-ubatkjopet/|title=Dette kan avgjøre ubåtkjøpet|access-date=9 January 2017|date=9 January 2017|work=aldrimer.no|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110025207/https://www.aldrimer.no/dette-kan-avgjore-ubatkjopet/|archive-date=10 January 2017}}</ref> In February 2017, the Norwegian Government announced that it intended to procure its new submarines from the German manufacturer, ThyssenKrupp. Norway and Germany will buy submarines together to mutualize expenses. In practice the tender was cancelled and exclusive government to government negotiations were initiated.
