Germany & Rolls-Royce Help China - Best Diesels for Submarines

Thanks Anonymous for your ongoing research. I've found it technically difficult to publish long Tables on blogger/blogspot. For that reason and to make output more topical I've divided the Submarine Propulsion Tables into three:

1.  competitors to the West. They are North Korea, China, Russia and Iran.
     :  it is assumed North Korea is using old Russian propulsion designs
     :  China is happily buying MTU 396 and MTU 4000 submarine engines and building
        MTU 4000 factories with European and UK (Rolls-Royce) help

     :  Russia seems to design and build its own diesels and motors, but, if its smart, it
        should gain inspiration from any MTU/MAN designs and hardware available
     :  Iran, with its 3 older Russian built Kilo 877s would very likely rely on Russian
        propulsion  

2.  Western and non-aligned countries, and

3.  Australia (Collins and Future Submarine/Shortfin)

Submarine Propulsion Table 2^nd Attempt: Competitors to the West

Country/ Company	Type/ Details	Diesel engine	Motor, AIP (if fitted)	Alternatives
North Korea	Golf / Sinpo class derivative	1 to 3 E390ZC-1? Russian Golf class given to NK with 3 × diesels originally		MTU 16V396SE84 or MAN SEMT Pielstick
China	Ming class, Type 033	1 x E390ZC-1		MTU 16V396SE84 or MAN SEMT Pielstick
China	Song class (Type 039) & Yuan class (Type 039A or 41)	Likely use of 4 x MTU 16V396SE84 2 x MTU 20V4000M diesels are already being offered by China in its warships, eg. the P18 export version of China’s Type 056 corvette	In future Yuans may have permanent magnet motors and see	16V diesel built by Yuchai Group see sources  A and B or 12 cylinder  MAN 12PA4V200SMDS page 6likely, given China now has a MTU 4000 factory and see MTU Report
Russia	Kilo class	2 x Kolomensky Zavod diesels see 2 1DL42 (ChN 30/38) last sentence & see whole document	1 x Elektrosila motor Russian. Permanent magnet motors may be installed on new Improved Kilo 636s	Likely to use 4 x MTU 16V396SE84 or Kolomensky Zavod diesel D500?
Russia	Lada/Amur class, just 1 testbed	1 or 2 x Kolomensky Zavod diesels   V8D49 (and/or ED-2) ChN26/26 also see Russ site on D49	Elektrosila motor? on permanent magnets” For future Amur class permanent magnet motors are planned. AIP being developed	Kolomensky Zavod diesel D500?
Iran	Kilo class	2 x Kolomensky Zavod diesels see 2 1DL42 (ChN 30/38) last sentence & see whole document	Elektrosila motor?	Kolomensky Zavod diesel D500?
