A fact from French submarine Plongeur appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 January 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the French submarine Plongeur, built in 1863, was the first submarine in the world not to use human power for propulsion?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/January.

Units[edit]

Units is this page are imperial, not metric. A French ship would have been built in metric. The values mentioned on the external french lanugauge page don't match with the ones here. - Devoblue 03:42, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Longevity, fate?[edit]

Sounds like about the longest service of any sub I've heard of (of course, her time as an acutal diving sub was under 10 yrs...but still...). Anyone know what became of her after being privately purchased circa 1937? Engr105th (talk) 04:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to know this. Presumably she was scrapped. Drutt (talk) 15:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ait volume[edit]

Infobox says compressed air tank was 53m³, text says 153m³. I suspect someone has confused the compressed air tank with the ballast tank. I have been unable to find a source that gives the correct numbers. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
