Displacement: 2,700 long tons (2,743 tons) submerged
Length: 100 meters (330 feet)
Beam: 8.5 meters (28 feet)
Draft: 8.5 meters (28 feet)
Propulsion:
3 diesel engines, each 2,000 bhp (1,500 kW)
3 electric motors, 5,200 shp (3,880 kW)
3x shafts
Speed: 15-17 knots (28-31 km/h; 17-20 mph) surfaced, 12-14 knots (22-km/h; 14-6 mph) submerged
Endurance: 70 days

The taking of K-129 is an incredible book by Josh Dean. I highly recommend reading this true story of almost unbelievable espionage and deception.
