Plans have been drawn up to acquire a force of three submarines to replace the Daphnes, and feasibility studies have been undertaken. An order was placed with the German Submarine Consortium (GSC) in July 2000 for three Type 209/1400 MOD boats with delivery to take place between 2004 and 2006. The Daphne class has been modernised to extend its operational life to around 2005. Included in the update are two multifunction sonar operator consoles, providing a new long-range passive sonar display, a new triple transducer intercept sonar, new triple transducer array passive ranging sonar and new sonar classifier system, with library: two multifunction interchangeable displays for time-bearing and tactical plots, new electronics charting navigation subsystem, new ESM sensor head and console, a Zeiss E/O search periscope upgrade with split image range-finding and low light and day video recording: attack periscope upgrade being undertaken by the Eloptro Division of Denel, new communications suite and new radar. Much of the work was undertaken by UEC. A new combat system is being provided by African Defence Systems. The Maria van Riebeeck is now laid up and non-operational due to a major defect in one of her electric motors.
Spain
Plans are in hand to build four new boats designated S-80 to replace the obsolete Daphne class. An order is anticipated and the design will probably be based on the Scorpene that is being developed in collaboration with France. A project definition contract for the S-80 was awarded at the end of 1998. It is planned that the S-80 boats will be armed with a land attack missile. The Agosta class boats are undergoing a major upgrading with new ESM, towed array sonar (not yet selected), periscopes with IR imaging and improved fire-control system. The fire-control system of the Daphnes has been modernised to enable them to launch F17 torpedoes.
France
The SSBN programme has been reduced from six Le Triomphant class boats to four, all of which will eventually deploy the new M51 missile that is planned to enter service in 2010. The second unit, Le Téméraire, was commissioned in December 1999. The third unit, Le Vigilant, is scheduled to enter service in 2004, and the fourth boat, ordered in July 2000, will deploy with the new M51 missile in 2010. A programme exists to define the requirements for a new generation of SSBN.
Work has commenced on the design of a new class of six SSNs (the SMAF - Sous-Marin d'Attaque Future) under the name Barracuda. An order for the first two boats is projected for around 2006 with the first boat due to enter service around 2012 to start replacing the current Améthyste class. The boats will be armed with cruise missiles, starting around 2015. The last Agosta class boat will be used as a test platform for the Barracuda Project. The last of the Daphne class boats, Psyche, was decommissioned on 29 September 1998.
Pakistan
Work is well under way on the construction of the three new Agosta 90B class boats. The first boat, Khalid, is now operational and the second boat successfully completed its deep dive test on 19 September 2003. The third boat Hamza will be built entirely in Pakistan and is scheduled to begin sea trials in 2005. The first MESMA AIP system has been accepted and will be transhipped to Pakistan where it will be installed in the Hamza, which is due to complete in 2005. The two earlier boats will then be retrofitted with the AIP system. These boats are fitted to fire anti-ship missiles. Four Daphne class submarines and three midgets are also operational although the Daphnes will be progressively decommissioned as the Khalid class enters service.
Portugal
Replacement of the three Daphnes is an urgent priority, as the current boats will become obsolete in 2006. An RfP for three boats was issued with five proposals due on 3 June 1998, but funding problems have reduced this to just two boats. The designs being offered were Scorpene (DCNI and Izar), Type 209/1400 (GSC), Sauro derivative (Fincantieri), Gotland derivative (Kockums), and Moray type (RDM). The Portuguese require that the boats be capable of operating in Atlantic waters and must be able to deploy Sub Harpoon. An option for an AIP system is also specified. A shortlist of contenders was announced in the Autumn of 1998 and included the Scorpene and the German Type 209 design. On 25 September 2003 the Portuguese Defence Minister said that the preferred bidder for the project was the German Submarine Consortium. On 21 April 2004 it was announced that the GSC had signed a contract with the Portuguese government for the construction and delivery of two Class 209 PN boats with an option for a third vessel. Delivery is scheduled for 2009-2010.

Т.е. тут говорится о 1990г, выше - о 1998г. Просто ошибка?Проект субмарины типа «Дафнэ» («Daphne») был разработан в 1952 году, эти океанские подводные лодки 2 класса должны были служить дополнением к более крупным лодкам типа «Нарваль». Лодки типа «Дафне» целенаправленно разрабатывались с пониженными скоростными характеристиками, что давало возможность увеличить глубину погружения и оснастить подводные корабли более тяжелым вооружением (по сравнению с существовавшими на тот момент лодками типа «Аретуз» («Arethuse»), которые несли обычное вооружение и предназначались для борьбы с противолодочными кораблями. Для облегчения работы экипажа лодки оснащались 12 торпедными аппаратами, размещенными вне прочного корпуса ((8 в носу и 4 в корме),— это избавляло от необходимости перезаряжать аппараты в походе и иметь на борту запасные торпеды. Всего для ВМС Франции было построено 11 таких субмарин. Две из них, «Минерв» («Minerve») и «Эридис» («Eurydice»), погибли со всем экипажем в западной части Средиземного моря в 1968 и 1970 годах соответственно. К 1990 году все лодки типа «Дафне» были исключены из списков флота. «Флоре» («Flore») продали в Саудовскую Аравию для использования в качестве учебного судна.
