The Royal Equestrian Navy and the Royal Government were less interested in submarine warfare and mostly put force into surface warfare. However,
The Senior Admirals who served formerly in Submarine Service know the importance Submarines in warfare. Under the Befehl der Tiefseestreitkräfte, the Royal Equestrian Navy were able to build and commission new submarines.

Development

The Royal Equestrian Navy and The Royal Government were less interested in Submarine Warfare and mostly put all the project into Surface Force. The Senior Officers who formerly served for the Submarine Forces of the Royal Equestrian Navy however gave information on what's the importance of Submarines in both defensive and offensive missions. With the information, The Admiralty decided to acquire at least 30 submarines in different class' in order to make their submarine force flexible. The Submarines currently in service were also aging at the time they decided to acquire new submarines. The Government gave authorization but ultimately reduce the intended target to 15 new submarines. Because of the decision, The Admiralty and The government debated. But the King,Freiheit II, a former Submarine Commander settled the debate and decided to let the Navy build the intended target they needed. This ultimately led to the creation of Befehl der Tiefseestreitkräfte which solidify the construction of 50 new submarines for the Navy, ultimately surpassing the original target of the Navy.

The development of Prinz-class involved paperwork from the Kingdom of Crystal as Equestria was not prominent in submarine warfare. In fact, their lead ship of their aging attack submarine was built in the Shipyards of Crystal.

An attack submarine or hunter-killer submarine is a submarine specifically designed for the purpose of attacking and sinking other submarines, surface combatants and merchant vessels. In the Soviet and Russian navies they were and are called "multi-purpose submarines". They are also used to protect friendly surface combatants and missile submarines.

Great Country Attack Submarines were no different in terms of role and purpose as they were needed for both attack and defense.
