Thermidor was one of 18 Шаблон:Sclasss built for the French Navy (Шаблон:Lang) in the first decade of the 20th century.

Design and description

The Pluviôse class were built as part of the French Navy's 1905 building program to a double-hull design by Maxime Laubeuf.[1] Thermidor differed from her sisters as she was built to test the hull shape planned for the following Шаблон:Sclass. She had an overall length of Шаблон:Cvt, a beam of Шаблон:Cvt and displaced Шаблон:Cvt on the surface and Шаблон:Cvt underwater. The submarines' crew numbered 2 officers and 23 enlisted men.[2]

For surface running, the boats were powered by two Шаблон:Convert triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by two Du Temple boilers. When submerged each propeller was driven by a Шаблон:Convert electric motor.[3] On the surface they were designed to reach a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert underwater.[1] The submarines had a surface endurance of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert and a submerged endurance of Шаблон:Cvt at Шаблон:Convert.[4]

The first six boats completed were armed with a single Шаблон:Convert internal bow torpedo tube, but this was deleted from the rest of the submarines after an accident with their sister Шаблон:Ship in 1909. All of the boats were fitted with six 450 mm external torpedo launchers; the pair firing forward were fixed outwards at an angle of seven degrees and the rear pair had an angle of five degrees. Following a ministerial order on 22 February 1910, the aft tubes were reversed so they too fired forward, but at an angle of eight degrees. The other launchers were a rotating pair of Drzewiecki drop collars in a single mount positioned on top of the hull at the stern. They could traverse 150 degrees to each side of the boat. The Pluviôse-class submarines carried eight torpedoes.[5]

Construction and career

Thermidor, named after the second month of summer in the French Republican Calendar, was ordered on 26 August 1905 from the Arsenal de Cherbourg. The submarine was laid down in 1906, launched on 3 July 1909 and commissioned on 13 July 1910.[6]

On 10 June 1913, Thermidor collided with the submarine Шаблон:Ship while Watt was moored at a wharf at the Brest Arsenal in Brest, France. Both submarines suffered damage, particularly Watt, which sustained a gash over Шаблон:Convert in length in her external port ballast tank that required a substantial period of time to repair.[7]
