List of French Submarines, 1863 - Now. |
|||
French
submarines began with the Plongeur submarine which was launched in 1863
which was designed by Admiral Simeon Bourgois (1815 - 1887) and
constructed in collaboration with Charles Brun. This vessel marked
a great advance in that she was driven by a compressed air engine, but
it was not until the 1880's with the design of the Gymnote submarine, a
single hull steel submarine boat designed by Gustave Zede, that a useful
weapon was made of the submarines.
