On the Anniversary of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, the Redoutable, a formidable French submarine of WWII, evokes memories of its namesake from the Battle of Trafalgar. In lithographs and engravings, the Redoutable is depicted as part of the French Squadron in the Mediterranean, engaging in fierce battles against the British fleet. The sinking of the original Redoutable, as seen in an engraving, came after a valiant effort against the Victory and Temeraire. The Redoutable, an ironclad warship of the French Navy, continued the legacy of this redoubtable vessel. #BattleofTrafalgar #Redoutable #WWII #FrenchNavy #MaritimeHistory
