Project history: Project "Z2", improved version of Redoutable. Placing of 85t of fuel oil in ballast tanks became the basic improvement. Built under 1934 (1 boat), 1937 (1 boat) and 1938 (3 boats) programmes. 8 more boats were ordered under the 1940 programme. Two of them, Ile de France and Ile de Re, were begun in April. Following submarines were named but never laid down: La Guadeloupe, Ile de Yeu and La Réunion. It was supposed to order three more boats, but they never received names.
Incomplete submarines were blown up on slipways 19.6.1940 before occupancy of Cherbourg by Germans. Earlier this day Roland Morillot was launched.
