Casabianca (Q183) was a Redoutable-class submarine of the French Navy. The class is also known as
117_1
the "1500-ton class" and were termed in French de grande patrouille. She was named after
117_2
Luc-Julien-Joseph Casabianca. Launched in 1935, she entered service in 1936. She escaped from
117_3
Toulon during the scuttling of the fleet there on 27 November 1942, and continued in service with
117_4
the Allied forces. Casabianca, commanded by Capitaine de frégate Jean l'Herminier, had a role in
117_5
the liberation of Corsica, and was an important link between occupied France and the Free French
117_6
government based in Algiers.

It was initially planned to name the submarine Casablanca. Navy Minister François Piétri, who was
117_11
Corsican, instead pressed for a navy vessel to be named in honour of Luc-Julien-Joseph Casabianca,
117_12
a naval officer from Corsica who had served in the French Revolutionary Wars. The Casablanca was
117_13
therefore renamed Casabianca prior to being launched.
