This colossus of the sea could carry a floatplane, two 8-inch guns, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and 10 heavy torpedoes that were feared by anything that came in her path.

When Surcouf disappeared, both the Kriegsmarine and the Japanese Navy admitted that they did not sink her, raising suspicions and igniting several theories as to what may have happened to the most potent Allied submarine in the world…
