Page 2- "IDF 'SEALs' sub.  Used for training Israeli Defense Force (IDF)
'Frogmen' as a guide for diving operations.  Powered by an electric
engine (sic) that is fed by two 12 volt rechargeable batteries.  Battery
charger is not included due to electrical current differences.  Any
inexpensive 12 volt (I presume they mean 12 VDC) unit will work to
charge batteries.  The sub can run for two hours after recharging.

And you can also find other neat stuff in there, not exactly related to
submarines.  

This is not spam nor do I get anything out of providing this
information. with exception for hopefully helping someone find something
they have a use for (and can afford).
