'''''Marlin'' class submarines''' are a class of [[diesel-electric]] [[attack submarine]]. It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP), developed solely by the [[France|French]] company [[DCNS]], formerly DCN, after the [[Spain|Spanish]] company [[Navantia]] (Formerly Bazan, then Izar), its partner in the Scorpène design, went with [[Lockheed Martin]] to build the competing S-80, which was selected by the [[Spanish Navy]] to form its next-generation submarine force, at the expense of Scorpène.

The [[Pakistan Navy]] is currently evaluating the possibility of purchasing 3 Marlin class boats to replace its decommissioned [[Daphné class submarine]].
