Rubis was one of six Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy (Шаблон:Lang) in the first decade of the 20th century.
Design and description
The Émeraude class were built as part of the French Navy's 1903 building program to a Maugas single-hull design.[1] The submarines displaced Шаблон:Convert surfaced and Шаблон:Convert submerged. They had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. They had an operational diving depth of Шаблон:Convert. Their crew numbered 2 officers and 23 enlisted men.[2]
For surface running, the boats were powered by two Sautter-Harlé Шаблон:Convert diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a 300-metric-horsepower electric motor. They could reach a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert on the surface and Шаблон:Convert underwater. The Émeraude class had a surface endurance of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert and a submerged endurance of Шаблон:Cvt at Шаблон:Convert.[3]
The boats were armed with four internal Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes, two in the bow and two in the stern, for which they carried six torpedoes.[4]
Construction and career
Rubis was laid down in October 1903[5] at the Arsenal de Cherbourg, launched on 27 June 1907 and commissioned on 11 December 1909.[6]
