Daphné-class Submarine

The Daphné-class was a type of diesel-electric patrol submarines built in France between 1958 and 1970 for the French Navy and for export.

Besides its eight torpedo tubes forward, this submarine class has four in the stern, which point rearward. All are for torpedoes of the French 550mm diameter; while the forward tubes hold full-length torpedoes, the stern tubes only shortened ones.

The forward diving planes are located below the midplane of the hull. Unlike those of modern German submarines, which are similarly located, they function by tilting and cannot retract; neither do they fold.
