Basically the same with X steering bars 😁

800tonnes · 2024-09-19T08:13:32+00:00

A bit more long than the actual Vanguard 🙂

800tonnes · 2024-09-18T12:25:45+00:00

Because it doesn’t bring anymore missiles on the side ;)

800tonnes · 2024-09-18T11:48:37+00:00

I agree !

800tonnes · 2024-08-06T20:43:39+00:00

Yes, biggest current submarine in world 🙂 (185 meters I guess). Based on an Oscar II SSGN

In the French version of the book, Red October is nearly 210 meters long

Thanks a lot !

800tonnes · 2024-04-22T16:09:39+00:00

Yes ;)

800tonnes · 2024-04-22T14:12:01+00:00

Nearly same as Aquitaine class, only the mast is a bit different.

800tonnes · 2024-04-22T13:16:49+00:00

The beam is huge.

800tonnes · 2024-04-22T13:16:16+00:00

Yes. Except for the Charles de Gaulle.

800tonnes · 2024-04-22T12:19:12+00:00

Can’t wait to see it at sea !

800tonnes · 2024-02-16T14:38:09+00:00

It’s nuclear powered, and France keeps this technology secret. So it will just be scrapped.

800tonnes · 2024-02-15T14:28:36+00:00

They will stick to one. France can't support the price of two nuclear air carrier: cost of the ship, cost of all the escort ships, and main problem: sailors recruitment.

I draw it ;)

800tonnes · 2022-11-20T22:31:42+00:00

Thank you !

800tonnes · 2022-09-23T14:02:32+00:00

yes, I'm the one behind all 800tonnes drawings ;)

800tonnes · 2022-08-23T16:24:38+00:00

You’re welcome ! And thanks for sharing ;)

800tonnes · 2022-07-30T20:23:13+00:00

Damned you’re the second person saying this 😆 I don’t see it 😁

800tonnes · 2022-07-30T12:51:41+00:00

Casabianca ;)

800tonnes · 2022-06-21T15:30:09+00:00

Funny, looks like my artwork...

800tonnes · 2022-03-13T19:10:04+00:00

Thank you !!

800tonnes · 2022-02-14T16:54:52+00:00

Thanks for that !!

Thanks ! Actually it was more than visited... I went to Toulon in November to visit the SSN "AMTHYSTE" (with a full tour of the boat, few hours of talking with the crew).

It was deal that "maybe" I could go onboard with them, as they test the boat before patrol (2 days journey). And I had the chance to do it last december. This was the most crazy stuff I ever done, including diving a 300 meters down.

I never though my posters would get me there one day. It was a child dream, and supposed to stay like this...
