The indications are that France has increased the number of ballistic missile submarines to two, which simultaneously conduct operational service at sea. Previously, it was ensured that there was only one such boomer at sea, with sixteen M51 ICs.

The French forces scare away a total of four nuclear-powered submarines of the Le Triomphant type. These are units with a length of 138 m and a displacement of 14,335 tons, each of which has sixteen M51 ICBMs on board. All Le Triomphant submarines are part of the ocean strategic forces FOSt (la Force océanique stratégique) stationed near Brest (at the L'île Longue base).
