  • ... that the French submarine Z was ordered as France's first diesel-powered submarine, but lost this distinction because the French submarine Aigrette was launched before?

The source doesn't support the claim you are making - it says Z was the first French diesel submarine, not the first diesel submarine in total - discussion of Aigrette is on page 208, not 207.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
