Quick Revovery for Eurydice

Unlike the Minerve, the Eurydice wreckage site was discovered quickly. In April 1970, American ship, USNS Mizar, found the pieces of wreckage where the ship had sunk (seven weeks after the tragedy). There were records of loose debris on the seabed about 2,000 and 3,600 feet. This kind of quick and yet no less tragic would bring all the dead crew’s families the heartbreaking and yet conclusive closure that they needed.

Eurydice – A Daphne Class Submarine

The Minerve, too, was a Daphne-class and was also recognized as a second-class craft. As such, Daphne-class submarines ranged between the Narval-class – which are the larger kinds that can easily traverse the ocean – and Arethusa-class, which are the smaller versions. The Arethusa-class was seen mostly as anti-submarine crafts and was the basis for which Daphne-class would be designed. This design would allow such nifty submarines to dart about the enemy positions laying waste.
