The Ministry of Armed Forces of France has said that the second Suffren-class SSN, "Duguay-Trouin" (S636) has been handed over to the French Navy by Naval Group.
Duguay-Trouin is the second of six Suffren-class nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN) built as part of the Barracuda program.
The first submarine of the class, Suffren, was delivered in November 2020. It entered “active duty” in June 2022 and completed its first operational deployment in January this year.
Duguay-Trouin‘s keel laying took place in June 2009.
It will be based in Toulon in Southern France, like the rest of the French SSN fleet.
