minus-squareTheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up29arrow-down1·edit-221 hours agoThe scale of these things is always fascinating. They’re always much larger than I think they are. For reference, I think that’s a Suffren class, making it just shy of 100m, or a tad longer than a football field for my fellow Americans.
minus-squareHellsBelle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·16 hours agoThe previously-mentioned French article says it’s a Barracuda, but I don’t know if that’s a model or a class. And unsurprisingly, he also decided to offer the Royal Canadian Navy its “premium” model, the Barracuda, rather than the Scorpène.
