The "Daphne-Class" refers to a series of submarines developed by the French Navy in the mid-20th century. These submarines were designed for various roles, including anti-submarine warfare and reconnaissance missions. The class is known for its distinctive hull shape and advanced sonar systems for their time. Daphne-Class submarines were equipped with both torpedoes and mines, allowing them to engage in offensive and defensive operations. They played a significant role during the Cold War, contributing to the NATO alliance's maritime strategy. The class was eventually succeeded by more advanced submarine designs as technology evolved.
