The Agosta-class submarine is actually two related class of diesel-electric and fast attack submarine developed and constructed by France's DCNS to succeed the Daphné-class submarines. The French Navy grouped this model of submarine in their most capable class as an océanique, meaning "ocean-going." The Agosta–70 are in the active service with the Spanish Navy, Pakistan Navy, and formerly by the French Navy when they commissioned the Scorpène-class submarines.

The Agosta-90B is a modernized version that is built as part of a joint-venture by Pakistan's KSEW and France's DCNS for the Pakistan Navy and features the air-independent marine propulsion. The Agosta-90B are slightly larger and modified submarine that has a crew of 36 plus 5 officers and can be equipped with the MESMA air-independent propulsion (AIP) system.
