The bathyscaphe Archimède is a deep diving research submersible of the French Navy. It used Шаблон:Convert of hexane as the gasoline buoyancy of its float. It was designed by Pierre Willm and Georges Houot. In 1964, Archimède descended into "what was then thought to be the deepest part of the Puerto Rico Trench", which the NY Times reported as Шаблон:Convert.

Archimède was christened on 27 July 1961, at the French Navy base of Toulon. It was designed to go beyond Шаблон:Convert, and displaced 61 tons. In October 1961, Archimède passed its first dive tests, diving to Шаблон:Convert unmanned. On 27 November 1961, Archimède achieved a speed of Шаблон:Convert, over a distance of Шаблон:Convert at a depth of Шаблон:Convert in the Mediterranean Sea.

On 23 May 1962, Archimède descended to Шаблон:Convert off Honshu, Japan, in the Pacific, at the Japan Deep. On 15 July 1962, Archimède descended to Шаблон:Convert into the Kurile-Kamchatcha Trench, making it the second deepest dive ever, at that point in time, second only to the Шаблон:Ship dive on the Challenger Deep. On 12 August 1962, Archimède descended to Шаблон:Convert in the Japan Deep south of Tokyo.

Archimède explored the Mid-Atlantic Ridge jointly with the submarine Cyana and submersible Шаблон:Ship, in Project FAMOUS (French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study) in 1974.

Archimède operated until the 1970s. It was placed on reserve in 1975, and decommissioned in 1978.

Since 2001, Archimède is on display at the Cité de la Mer museum in Cherbourg.

Archimède was honoured with a stamp in Palau.
