France has launched a program to build a series of nuclear submarines of the next, 3rd generation, which in the future should replace the strategic submarines of the Triomphant class in service. Steel cutting for the first submarine took place on March 20 at the Naval Group shipyard in Cherbourg (Normandy).

The timing of the official laying of the submarine has not yet been announced, but the assembly of sections is planned for 2026-2027, launching in the early 2030s and transfer to the fleet after 2035. In total, the French plan to build four SNLE-3G (3 Generation) submarines, which should provide nuclear deterrence until the 80s.

We are proud that today we symbolically begin production of the hull of the first strategic nuclear submarine of the third generation. This large-scale program requires the mobilization of all our skills, talents and resources. To implement it, we will use the military-industrial and technological base throughout the country

– said Pierre Eric Pommelle, CEO of Naval Group.
