The French submarine Saphir was the lead ship of the Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy in the mid-1930s. Laid down in May 1926, it was launched in December 1928 and commissioned in September 1930. Saphir was disarmed at Bizerte, Tunisia and renamed FR 112 after being captured there by Italian forces on 8 December 1942. Saphir was seized and scuttled by German forces at Naples, Italy on 15 September 1943.[1][2]

Design

Шаблон:Convert long, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert, Saphir-class submarines could dive up to Шаблон:Convert. The submarine had a surfaced displacement of Шаблон:Convert and a submerged displacement of Шаблон:Convert. Propulsion while surfaced was provided by two Шаблон:Convert Normand-Vickers diesel motors and while submerged two Шаблон:Convert electric motors. The submarines electrical propulsion allowed it to attain speeds of Шаблон:Convert while submerged. Their surfaced range was Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert, and Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert, with a submerged range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The Saphir-class submarines were constructed to be able to launch torpedoes and lay mines without surfacing. The moored contact mines they used contained 220 kg of TNT and operated at up to Шаблон:Convert of depth. They were attached to the submarine's exterior under a hydrodynamic protection and were jettisoned with compressed air. The Saphir-class submarines also featured an automatic depth regulator that automatically flooded ballast tanks after mines were dropped to prevent the risk of the submarine surfacing in the middle of enemy waters.[3][4]
