S . Navys 1st Naval District in northern New England inspected her for possible World War I service and , found her acceptable . She was assigned the naval registry identification number 2047 and earmarked for use as a " mine planter " ( minelayer ) . The Navy authorized the Commandant of the 1st Naval District to accept " Moosehead " with full title from the United States Shipping Board when she was offered for delivery . He was also told that instructions for conversion of " Moosehead " into a transport for special service would be furnished at some future time . The Navy acquired " Moosehead " from her owner , the Maine Central Railroad Company of Portland , Maine , on 28 March 1918 . On 11 June 1918 , she was slated for operation under the Navy Account by the Naval Overseas Transportation Service ( NOTS ) in coastwise trade , and the Commandant , 1st Naval District , was authorized to fit her out for that service . " Moosehead " s deck logs commenced on 1 July 1918 , which may have been the time she entered service ; her commissioning date is unclear , but she was commissioned in 1918 as USS " Moosehead " ( ID - 2047 ) .

In 1920 , " Moosehead " was reclassified as a ferry , redesignated YFB - 2047 , and renamed USS " Porpoise " , becoming the fourth ship of that name . Various dates are given for these events . The U . S . Navy adopted its modern hull number system on 17 July 1920 , which would have spurred her redesignation as YFB - 2047 , but sources state both that she became YFB - 2047 on 11 August and on 8 November 1920 . Sources also differ on the date of her renaming , offering both 11 August and 8 November 1920 as the date she became " Porpoise " . Despite her purportedly temporary assignment there , " Porpoise " remained assigned to the Washington Navy Yard until stricken from the Navy List on 30 December 1930 . She was sold on 24 February 1931 .

French submarine Rubis ( S601 ) The Rubis ( S 601 ; ex " Provence " ) is a first - generation nuclear attack submarine of the French Navy , named after the French submarine " Rubis " which distinguished herself during the Second World War . Originally named " Provence " , she was renamed to " Rubis " on 18 December 1980 . Being the lead ship of the " Rubis " class , her fine - tuning was long , notably needing over 1000 hours of underwater testing before commissioning . The " Rubis " is alleged to have entered the Pacific Ocean in 1985 to support the operation which led to the Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior . It is claimed that the submarine recovered the crew of the yacht " Ouvéa " before they could be re - arrested by New Zealand police for their role in the bombing of the " Rainbow Warrior " . The " Rubis " formed part of the French naval contribution to the Gulf War . Between September 1992 and July 1993 , she undertook a major refitting which upgraded her to the level of the " Améthyste " . Soon after , on 17 July 1993 , the " Rubis " collided with the tanker " Lyria " , as the " Rubis " was surfacing , causing minor damages and injuries . The " Rubis " also took part in " Operation Trident " , the 1999 bombing campaign over Yugoslavia , by protecting the aeronaval group . Along with the " Améthyste " , she was one of the two submarines who interdicted the Kotor straits to the Serbian Navy , thus effectively forbidding its use .

In 2002 , the " Rubis " protected " Task Force 473 " in the Indian Ocean , during " operation Hercules " , the naval part of the invasion of Afghanistan . On 18 July 1996 , the fourragère of the " Ordre de la Libération " was given to the submarine and her crew , as a legacy of the " Rubis " of the Second World War , which had been awarded the medal .

Euphrates - class troopship The " Euphrates " class was a five - ship class of iron screw troopship s built for the Royal Navy during the 1860s . They were used for carrying troops to India , with two of them being later hulked and surviving into the early 20th Century . Design . The Crimean War and Indian Mutiny in the 1850s both required that large numbers of troops be moved across the globe at short notice . Although for both these conflicts commercial shipping companies were able to fulfil all the immediate requirements , it became apparent that there were severe handicaps to the system ; in particular the availability of commercial shipping for trooping could not be guaranteed . It was decided to set up a regular service of Government transports and the Navy was ordered to build five specially - designed troopships . With the Suez Canal due to be opened in 1869 , the class was designed within the constraints of the new waterway . Designed to carry an entire battalion of infantry , the result was a magnificent barque - rigged steamer of considerable size ; with a top speed of 15 knots , and able to take the direct route via the Suez Canal , they were able to reduce the length of the voyage significantly , but perhaps more importantly , the uncertainty in the time needed to make the journey round the Cape of Good Hope was also reduced . The five ships were ordered from various British shipbuilders , with being built to a slightly different and smaller design . They were lightly armed with three 4 - pounder guns , and were initially fitted with a single - expansion trunk engine ( except " Serapis " ) and single screw , producing 700 nhp . However the engines were refitted on all of these ships during their active careers . was completed with a 4 - cylinder horizontal compound - expansion engine , but was re - engined in 1869 with a 2 - cylinder single expansion engine . ' s engines were originally 3 - cylinder versions , and were modified to the compound type in 1873 . The two - cylinder engines of and were also replaced with compound engines in 1873 . was also re - engined , albeit somewhat later than her sisters . Career . The ships spent most of their active careers conveying British troops to and from the Indian subcontinent , although other voyages were made , most notably to Canada . Obsolete by the mid - 1890s , " Serapis " , " Euphrates " and " Crocodile " were sold for breaking up . " Malabar " became a base ship at Bermuda in 1897 , and was renamed HMS " Terror " in 1901 . She was put on the disposal list in 1914 and was sold off in 1918 , while " Jumna " survived as a coal hulk , eventually being sold off in 1922 . < / div >
