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.
