Thanks GA

for http://rmcdecouverte.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer-replay/?id=15086&title=SOUS-MARINS%2C%20FLEURONS%20DE%20LA%20MARINE%20FRANCAISE

The VIDEO is unfortunately geo-blocked to Australia.

But interesting description on that site - translated:

"We do not see them, you do not hear them, you never know where they sail. Nuclear powered submarines are the most discrete devices whose great maritime powers have to monitor or attack their enemies. These are also the most advanced technologically, can dive up to 300 meters deep and stay from listing up to three months without going back to the surface.

What are these submarines for? How do they work? What crews life looks when they are in immersion, cut off from the world for months? We will accompany a crew of 70 sailors during of a training mission, to share their daily lives in this confined space and totally cut off from the outside, attend their maneuvers and thus understand their role in our system of defense and information."

Regards

Pete
