The
French submarine Ariane was laid down as an Amphitrite
class submarine at Arsenal de Cherbourg in France, and was
launched in September 1914 for the French Navy. She had a
very short career under the Great War, and was sunk the
year after in the Mediterranean. She was hit by two
torpedoes from the German uboat UC-22 under command of
Oberleutnant zur see Heino Von Heimburg 19.Juni 1917
outside Tunisia. Only eight men from the crew survived the
sinking. The wreck was located in September 2020 standing
on her keel as a classic Donald Duck wreck on a depth of
50 meter outside Cap Bon.
