Laid down in 1964 and launched in March 1967, the Redoutable completed its sea tests period in 1971. Its hull was made of high-elasticity steel allowing for immersions of greater than 200 meters. Propulsion is provided by an under pressure natural water and highly enriched uranium nuclear reactor supplying the heat-generating energy required to produce the steam driving 2 sets of turbines and alternators. The strategic armament includes 16 ballistic missiles comparable to the US Polaris. The tactical weapons include 4 torpedo launching tubes.
