It appears that the "Type 2000" submarine was first proposed to the USN during the Ford Administration when there was a degree of interest in conventionally powered patrol subs for the mid-Atlantic ASW mission. Nearly a decade later, the design was offered to Australia, where it was apparently the preferred bid, losing only to a far less developed Kockums proposal. Most recently, in 2001, the design was apparently offered to Taiwan.
Here is a diagram:

I will attempt to find a cutaway diagram and further information.
Does any have any addition information on this program?
