Project history

Double-hulled submarines, built under the 1909 program. Project of M. Hutter on the basis of Brumaire. Diesels did not reach projected 1300hp power, and it became main weakness of project. Astrée and Amarante after launch were towed off to Le Havre and completed as minelayers.

Modernizations

1916 - 1917, completed and survived: + 1 x 1 - 47/50 M1902 or 1 x 1 - 75/35 M1897.

Naval service

Ariane was sunk off Bizerte 19.6.1917 by a torpedo from German submarine UC22. Artémis erroneously was twice attacked by British ships and aircraft, but both times, fortunately, without success.
