Buy 2nd CLASS SUBMARINES AND MINELAYERS OF THE NATIONAL NAVY 1922-1945 JEAN MOULIN

The history and description of 2nd class submarines built between the two wars have not been the subject of major studies. These boats did not particularly distinguish themselves during the Second World War with the exception of the units which were difficult to rearm in Great Britain by the FNFL. The others constitute part of the submarine forces of the French State Navy and many are disarmed before the end of 1940. The rare survivors of the painful events of November 1942, after a few missions in the Mediterranean, will practically only serve for the 'training. The same goes for the six minelaying submarines with the exception of the Rubis which has become a symbol for the FNFL.

The historical part only aims to report what happened, leaving aside any interpretation which has no place in an essentially technical work.
