Why Type 212CD order totals remain difficult to predict

How many Type 212CD submarines will ultimately be built, and will Germany order more than six?

No final total is predicted. Production has not accelerated with the orders, so additional boats would arrive still farther into the future.

The question starts from Norway's move to six boats and asks whether Germany will exceed six of its own. Production has not accelerated alongside the orders being discussed. Additional submarines would therefore join an already lengthy construction queue and arrive farther into the future. The eventual class total remains unresolved.
