According to the French MoD on November 27, 2024, the Navy's nuclear attack submarine Tourville arrived at its homeport in Toulon. As the third of six Suffren-class submarines developed under the ambitious Barracuda program, the Tourville plays a vital role in the modernization of France's naval forces. This arrival also coincides with the ongoing Verification of Military Capabilities (VCM) process, which ensures the submarine's safety, technical reliability, and operational effectiveness.
