Did you know?
In 1974, the French Navy tested a 4km-long towed active sonar to reach ideal detection depth.
The science worked — but impractical on a warship.

The project eventually led to the SLAMS being fitted on the Tourville-class in 1996.

Flashback
August 1999. 6th sea trial: legends on board.
No flight day => pilots can enjoy a drink the night before.

CF Pierre Clary, Yves “Bill” Kerhervé and a SEM pilot just back from Kosovo at the bar…

An evening’s worth of stories to last a lifetime!
Read them in Maskirovka!

“Flashback”

August 1999 — first E-2C Hawkeye first trap.

“The flight deck is too small, the propeller is loose, the nuclear reactor is leaking…”

So many journalists were eager to mock a ship not yet in service.

27 years later — what a career! And it’s not over yet.

After the Soviets, the Royal Navy began using a non-acoustic detection system on 2 Trafalgar-class SSNs.

Non-acoustic sensors were fitted in 2004–2005, a testament to the stealth of the latest Russian boats.

Get on board my novel Maskirovka to see them in action!

True fact in my novel Maskirovka:
The USS Albuquerque launches a volley of Tomahawk cruise missiles—without warning—very close to the French aircraft carrier Foch. The U.S. Navy was pressuring the French fleet to leave the Adriatic.

Join the crew of the Foch in Maskirovka.

Did you know?
HMS Splendid of the Swiftsure class.
IOC in 1973, they were the first SSN to use a pump-jet instead of a screw, making it almost impossible to detect by sonar at the time.
The USN adopted it 15 years later on the 688-i.
