one more thing you don't know about :
under funded for SURFACED ship only
SSN AND SSBN are national priority and ALWAYS HAD along the years the appropriate funds, whatever the political side or budget problem
one more thing you better dig to understand better the real situation, then to understand better what you are talking about ...

my answers are from other people not realy myself my personal view of the french well not going to say here but they do need to have a major review of thier fleet oh and build new ships something they doing now yes.

you could talk about it if you knew what you talk about, Kapitain.
You showed me you just don't ...

approximation and generalization won't learn you much about this subject

talking about SSN yes, until barracuda class comes.
concerning SSBN, well just think what you want to think
french one have 3 hulls for each motorised engine, a turbo pump for propulsion, and the most advanced embarqued technology.
Ballistic missiles are less powerfull fewer and have less range than US one (also UK, because UK rely on US for them ... opposite to french who have the entire tech under there control)
but we don't talk about missiles here, but stealth.
And anyway, only one of these SSBN can eradicate 90% of United States or Russian towns, so ...
I personnally think there are now dinosaurus from the end of the cold war.

And when you read the paper, the french one is the stealthy one.
Of course, boat are not made in paper, but your 'easy' assertion just show you are partial and bad informed.
