Argonaute, Military submarine museum at La Villette, France
The Argonaute submarine extends 49.6 meters in length and features four torpedo tubes designed for Mediterranean Sea operations in the 1950s.
Constructed at Arsenal de Cherbourg in 1955, this submarine patrolled Mediterranean waters until its decommissioning from the French Navy in 1982.
The submarine represents French naval engineering excellence through its advanced diesel-electric propulsion system and specialized underwater combat capabilities.
Visitors can explore the submarine's interior compartments and learn about underwater navigation systems through interactive displays at Cité des Sciences.
The vessel traveled on a 94-meter barge through Gibraltar and up the Seine River to reach its current location in Paris.
