''Circé'' was a submarine of the French Navy built in Toulon from 1904. She was part of the Circé-class submarine (1907). ==History== ''Circé'' was one of two submarines of the ''Circé''-class, built after the design by Maxime Laubeuf. Her sister ship was ''Calypso'', which sank in July 1914 after a collision with ''Circé''. On 29 April 1915 ''Circé'' made several attempts to penetrate the harbour of Cattaro. Finally she gained entrance, but found no targets and had to retire. On 31 March 1917 in the Adriatic, she launched a torpedo towards the German submarine SM ''UC-35'', but missed. On 24 May 1917, under command of Lt. Hélion De Cambourg, she succeeded in sinking the German submarine SM ''UC-24''. This was one of the few kills (if not the only) by a French submarine during World War I. On 20 September 1918, ''Circé'' under command of Lt. Henri Viaud was on anti-submarine patrol in the Southern Adriatic Sea, off Cattaro, when she was torpedoed by the Austro-Hungarian submarine ''UB-47'' at 04:00, while recharging her batteries. Only one survivor, second-in-command Eugène Lapeyre, was picked up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French submarine Circé (Q 47)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
