The FNRS-3 or FNRS III is a bathyscaphe of the French Navy. It is currently presevered at Toulon. She set world depth records, competing against a more refined version of her design, the first bathyscaphe ''Trieste''. The French Navy eventually replaced her with the bathyscaphe FNRS-4, in the 1960s.〔Houghton Mifflin, "Ships of the World", Lincoln P. Paine, ''1997'', pg.188〕 After damage to the FNRS-2 during its sea trials in 1948, FNRS ran out of funding, and the submersible was sold to the French Navy, in 1950. She was subsequently substantially rebuilt and improved at Toulon naval base, and renamed FNRS-3.〔Encyclopædia Britannica, 2010 Online, 9 September 2010 (accessed 9 September 2010)〕 She was relaunched in 1953, under the command of Georges Houot, a French naval officer.〔University of Washington Press, "Oceanographic History: The Pacific and Beyond", Keith R. Benson, Phillip F. Rehbock, ed.s, ''1993'', 2002, pp.387〕 On 15 February 1954, she made a dive 160 miles off Dakar, Senegal in the Atlantic Ocean, beating Piccard's 1953 record, set by the ''Trieste'', by 900 meters.〔〔 (the floor of the Mediterranean off Naples, )〔〔American Heritage, ("To the Bottom of the Sea" ), T. A. Heppenheimer, ''Summer 1992, Volume 8, Issue 1'' (accessed 9 September 2010)〕 This record was not exceeded until a workup dive by ''Trieste'' in 1959, working up to the record shattering Challenger Deep dive.〔〔Mariner Books, "Ships of Discovery and Exploration", Lincoln P.
