The Aurore classclass of fifteen coastal submarines designed for the French Navy . The prototype – Aurore – was authorised in 1934, the next four in 1937, a further four in 1938, two in 1938, and a final four subsequently. Some of the ships were captured by Nazi Germany after the Fall of France , most of them in an unfinished state; two were intended to be completed for the German Navy, Africaine becoming UF-1 and Favorite becoming UF-2 , but only the first was completed during the World War II , the second reverting to French control while still uncompleted.
Five of the submarines , Andromède Astrée Africaine Artémis Créole Andromède , Artémis and Créole were fitted with GUPPY sails and submarine snorkels .
