in submarine design and construction and benefits from the latest technologies
developed for nuclear-powered classes operated by the French Navy, particularly
as regards acoustic discretion and combat system performance. DCNS is
drawing on 100 years’ experience as a designer and builder of
diesel-powered submarines, over 50 years’ experience in nuclear
