The French submarine Argonaute was an experimental attack submarine built for the French Navy between 1903 and 1911. Initially named Omega, Argonaute was laid down in January 1903, launched in November 1905 and commissioned in 1911. She was essentially an experimental submarine, and although in service during World War I, saw no action. Argonaute was decommissioned in 1919. DesignOmega was designed by Émile Berti and Emmanuel Petithomme.[1][2][3] Initially, Omega was to be equipped with a special diesel engine{{NoteTag|Under water the diesel engine would have to work on compressed air.}} to power the submarine both on the surface and submerged, but the failure of the concept on the French submarine Z forced the constructors to install a steam engine and an electric motor instead.[2]Argonaute had a surfaced displacement of {{Convert|306|LT|t|0|lk=on|abbr=off}} and a submerged displacement of {{Convert|409|LT|t|0|lk=off}}.[1][4] Her dimensions were {{Convert|48.92|m|ftin|lk=on|abbr=off}} long,[5] with a beam of {{Convert|4.2|m|ftin|abbr=on}} and a draught of {{Convert|2.8|m|ftin|abbr=on}}.[1][4] She had a single shaft powered by one triple expansion steam engine of {{Convert|350|hp|0|lk=on|abbr=off}} with steam from one boiler{{NoteTag|Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships 1906–1921 states that she had two boilers.}} and an electric motor which produced {{Convert|234|hp|abbr=on}} for submerged propulsion.[1] The maximum speed was {{Convert|10.25|kn||lk=on|abbr=off}} on the surface and {{Convert|6|kn||}} while submerged with a surfaced range of {{convert|1076|nmi||lk=on|abbr=off}} at {{convert|8|kn|km/h}} and a submerged range of {{convert|45|nmi|km}} at {{convert|5|kn|km/h}}.[1][4] Her complement was 22 men.[1][4]The submarine's armament comprised two {{Convert|450|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} bow torpedo tubes, two {{Convert|450|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} Drzewiecki drop collar torpedo launchers and two torpedoes in external cradles.[1][4] Construction and careerOmega was built in the Arsenal de Toulon.[2][4] She was laid down in January 1903[2] and was launched on 28 November 1905.[1][4] On 27 September 1910, the ship was renamed "Argonaute", and was commissioned in January 1911.[2][4] Argonaute was assigned the pennant number Q40.[4]Argonaute served in the Mediterranean Sea until 20 May 1919, when it was struck from the Navy list.[1][2][4]See also
