To me it seems like a minimalistic SSN, without much exciting things happening in sonar or weapons.

Just what I previously posted about Australia's plans after Collins' class. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=247027

An awful lot is packed into what is not a relatively large platform but I hope she meets all that is being claimed of her.

Yep, if you try to go silent with that thing, you’ll be... Suffren.

I really don't understand why people say these boats are small ? they are just a touch under 100m long, when you consider that the boats they are replacing the Rubis class which are 76m long its quite a big leap.
The UK Trafalgar class are smaller than the suffren at 86m long and have a pretty good array of capabilities packed in. On a side note the UK Astute class are only a smidge shorter than the suffren there's about 2m in it. The only real drawback I actually see with these boats is the lack of ability to engage land targets, they don't carry a land attack missile like the RN or USN thats not to say that this cannot be remedied in the future. In all honesty I think the Suffren will do just fine and as intended (and this is coming from an English man who doesn't like the French pretty much) Anyway thats just my 2 cents Im off to gargle some Listerine now i said the above.

Yeah it is rather a shame though they have to go back nearly a millennium to find a French person who actually won a battle (tongue firmly in cheek) i mean us Brits have so many that even the US navy uses our names too.
