The sea trials of the Suffren, the first Barracuda-class nuclear attack subma-rine built by Naval Group, have begun. This will enable the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) and the French Navy to test the performance of the submarine at sea before her delivery later this year. A total of six Barracuda-class vessels will be added to the French Navy's fleet by 2030. "The first sea trial of the Suffren is a source of great pride for Naval Group employees and their partners. I am extremely grateful for the efforts of our teams. They made it possible to start these trials while respecting strict compliance with the health and safety measures to protect the crew which is partly constituted of Naval Group members. These trials are additional proof of Naval Group's total commitment to the French Navy, the DGA as well as to the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA), TechnicAtome and the other industrial actors of the defence sector. Together, we are conducting the sea trials that will lead to the delivery of the Suffren and committed to the production of the other five submarines of the series, which is a major priority for the company," said Naval Group's Chairman and CEO, Pierre Eric Pommellet. The SSN Suffren sea trials are a priority for the Ministry of Defence, according to a Naval Group statement. The shipyard deployed a series of measures for the protection of the health and safety of the employees in order to continue the operations during the COVID-19 health crisis.
