France has launched the first Barracuda class nuclear-powered attack submarine Suffren.

France's President Emmanuel Macron, France's top naval officer Admiral Christophe Prazuck and other dignitaries were in attendance during the ceremony held on July 12, 2019.

It was held in manufacturer- Naval Group's shipyard in Cherbourg on the English Channel

Suffren is years behind schedule, it was laid down in 2007.
The French Navy expects to commission the boat next year.

Naval Group touts the new Barracuda class as very stealthy.

According to Defense News,
Vincent Martinot-Lagarde, the company's director of the Barracuda program, claims the boats are no louder than the "sound of the ocean" or "the noise made by shrimp,"
