Overview
The unique Surcouf submarine cruiser was designed in the mid-1920s as a vessel capable of fulfilling the role of both a submarine and a surface cruiser. The submarine's armament included several torpedo tubes of mixed calibers—400 mm and 500 mm—in triple mounts, a few small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and a dual-gun turret featuring 203 mm caliber artillery. Additionally, the submarine carried a reconnaissance seaplane. The Surcouf submarine cruiser was built in Cherbourg. In the summer of 1940, it departed Brest for Portsmouth, avoiding capture by German forces but was later interned by Britain during Operation Catapult. In spring-summer 1941, it participated in escorting Atlantic convoys. The Surcouf submarine cruiser disappeared on the night of February 19, 1942, presumably due to a collision with an American freighter.
