Project history: Built under the 1928 programme. Loire-Dubigeon variant of "630ton" boats.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: In June, 1940 both were withdrawn to Britain. Both boats were captured by British 3.7.1940 and in view of a strong deterioration were taken apart on spares for Junon and Minerve.
