The French Ministry of the Armed Forces says the testing “is the last milestone in a series of tests designed to verify the correct functioning of the Suffren’s armaments and of its combat system in general.”
The new submarine also successfully completed a test firing of an Exocet SM39 underwater-launched anti-ship missile during the trials.
