Second Barracuda passes milestone

摘要

The first hull section of Duguay-Trouin, the second Barracuda type nuclear-powered attack submarine for the French Navy, recently left the prefabrica- tion hall at DCNS's Cherbourg facility. This first production milestone was passed on schedule. The Barracuda programme, led by the French defence procurement agency (DGA), calls for delivery of six submarines between 2017 and 2028.
