Designed in 1938 it is a Type-A midget submarine 80 feet in length, 6 feet in diameter.  The displacement is 46 tons and the hull is made to break down into separate three sections.

The craft is propelled by a 600-horsepower electric motor, driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers.  Batteries supply the power but a mother ship is required to recharge.
