The Cosmos-class submarine, officially Cos.Mo.S MG-110[1] locally designated as X-Craft,[2] are a class of midget submarines designed by the Italian firm Cos.Mo.S, in Karachi Naval Dockyard, Pakistan.[3]
The Cosmos-class submarines are currently stationed in PNS Iqbal and are used as the SDV for the SEAL Teams of the Navy Special Service Group, since 1993.[3] Despite classified as submarine by its builder in Karachi, the Cosmos, nonetheless, fall under the responsibility of the Naval Strategic Forces Command for planning development while the Commander of the Coastal Areas remains in charge for the operational deployments only.[2]
