Aurore-class Submarine

Some of the ships were captured by Nazi Germany after the Fall of France, most of them in an unfinished state; two were intended to be completed for the German Navy, ''Africaine'' becoming ''UF-1'' and ''Favorite'' becoming ''UF-2'', but only the first was completed during the World War II, the second reverting to French control while still uncompleted. Five of the submarines, , , , and , were completed after the war, were commissioned in the French Navy and served into the 1960s. ''Andromède'', ''Artémis'' and ''Créole'' were fitted with Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program, GUPPY sails and submarine snorkels.
