Hi José,

You are right, until fairly recently Portugal operated the Barracuda and three other Daphne class subs. In addition, the 26 subs of the class served with the French, Spanish, South African, and Pakistani navies. Notable among these was Pakistan's PNS Hangor, which sank the Indian frigate INS Khurki during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
