French submarine Alose, Historical submarine museum in Toulon Arsenal, France.
The French submarine Alose measures 23.7 meters in length and features a single-hulled design constructed from Roma-bronze, displaying early submarine engineering.
Launched in 1904 at Arsenal de Toulon, the Alose served in the French Navy until 1914, when it became a target ship and sank near Fréjus.
The submarine's name comes from the shad fish, following the French Navy tradition of naming vessels after marine life during the early 1900s.
The submarine, now located at the Toulon Arsenal, functions as an educational facility where visitors can learn about early 20th-century naval technology.
The vessel incorporates a specialized Roma-bronze alloy developed by designer Gaston Romazotti, demonstrating French metallurgical innovation in submarine construction.
