Rainer, et al:

"The 55cm torpedo tubes of the French......."

The Free French submarine SURCOUF had 4 fixed tubes (FC Mediterranean 1917 type) of
550mm (21.7in) at the bow, two turnable banks (OSd 1925 type) in the aft super-
structure, each with 1X550 and 2X400mm (15.7in) Torpedoes:14X550mm and 8X400mm (all
reloads were stored inside, in the fore torpedo room.

When she came to Portsmouth, NH for outfitting, no U.S. torpedoes or 8" ammo was
loaded simply because it did not exist in the U.S.

Later,

ROBERT M.
