The Émeraude is a nuclear submarine from the first-generation of attack submarines by the French Navy. She is the fourth of the Rubis series. Between May 1994 and December 1995, she undertook a major refitting which upgraded her to the level of the Améthyste. On 30 March 1994, an accidental explosion occurred in the engine compartment while the boat was engaged in an anti-submarine exercise, killing ten men who were examining the turbo-alternator room.
