The new nuclear attack submarine Duguay-Trouin was transferred to the French Navy. This is the second representative of the Barracuda project after the Suffren submarine.

With this delivery, fleet renewal continues, which allows France to strengthen its control over maritime spaces and confirm its status as a great maritime power.

- the statement of the country's Navy says.

In total, it is planned to build six submarines of the Barracuda project. The commissioning of the remaining 4 submarines is expected in 2024-2030. The cost of construction of all six submarines was estimated in 2014 at 10.42 billion euros.

This is a major technological leap. The equipment of the new submarines is 10-15 times more powerful than its predecessors – Ruby-class submarines, due to automation, optocoupler mast, digitalization, artificial intelligence and other innovations

- noted in the Opex360 edition.

The Barracuda–class submarines have a total displacement of 5,300 tons, their length is 99 m, diameter is 8.8 m. The submarines can carry MdCN cruise missiles [a marine modification of the Storm Shadow already known by its own], upgraded Exocet SM39 RCC, heavy guided torpedoes F-21 [533 mm] and mines.

Barracuda are going to replace the Ruby class: three of them have already been decommissioned, three are in service. According to the French Navy command, to meet the operational needs of the fleet, it is necessary to have 6 attack submarines.
