French Navy Conducts Synchronized Cruise Missile Strikes
The French Navy (Marine Nationale) successfully conducted its first ever synchronized land attack cruise missile strike from a frigate and a submarine.
The historic test took place yesterday (18 April 2024) and involved first ship-in-class Aquitaine (D650) and a Suffren-class nuclear powered submarine (SSN). The frigate was located off Britany while the SSN was cruising in the Bay of Biscay. The two naval cruise missiles simultaneously hit a target located at the DGA’s missile test center South of Bordeaux.

Navy Lookout
The French carrier FS Charles de Gaulle has replenished an Aster 15 missile and reloaded it into VLS cell at sea.
A notable achievement by Marine Nationale but the big caveat is that this is only possible in flat calm conditions and enabled by the large flight deck for the mobile crane.
