  Redoutable class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Redoutable class submarine is a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) class, Sous-marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins (SNLE), of the French Marine Nationale, the oceanic part (Force Océanique Stratégique, FOST) of the Force de frappe.
The class was initially called the Redoutable class, the class was renamed to Inflexible class after the de-commissioning of Le Redoutable in December 1991.
The remaining submarines were very heavily upgraded from 1985 to fire the 2nd generation MIRV capable M4 missile - Le Tonnant was recommissioned in 1987; L'Indomptable in 1989; Le Terrible in 1990; and Le Foudroyant in 1993.

The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K 8 in 1970, K -219 in 1986, and Komsomolets (the only Mike class submarine) in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines—1000 m).
In 2000, a Russian Oscar II-class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in the forward torpedo room caused a spontaneous detonation of the warhead.
Submarines are popular subjects for films due to the danger, drama and claustrophobia of being on a submarine, and the suspense of the cat-and-mouse game of submarine or anti-submarine warfare.

 Le Triomphant SNLE - France Nuclear Forces
Le Téméraire, the second in the series of new SNLE-NG generation of missile-launching nuclear submarines, was commissioned into active service on 23 December 1999, after successfully passing its sea trials.
During the design of the Le Triomphant, studies were carried out in order to limit the sound sources and the vibrations of many elements, as well on the level of the hull and the engine as to that of the 750,000 embarked apparatuses and the 50 km pipings conveying the fluids on board.
With the origin and before their recasting, it was necessary to the SNLE of the old generation to return in the vicinity of surface, with regular intervals, to readjust their equipment of navigation on the stars, the satellites, or the radioelectric signals of station to ground.

 Appendix - The Russian Northern Fleet
The pressurised hull was made of HY80 steel, and the submarine had a maximum diving depth of 400 meters.[621] The submarine sank during a diving test on April 10, 1963, and all the crew were lost.
The Permit class of attack submarines was followed by the Sturgeon class, which also used the S5W reactor.[623] The noise from these submarines was reduced in comparison to the Permit-submarines, but its top speed was only about 25 knots.
The submarine was torn into two pieces, and there are speculations that the accident may have been caused by the explosion on board of one of the torpedoes.

 BBC - h2g2 - Ballistic Missile Submarines
The advantages of the submarine deterrent were obvious; the main one being that it could be hidden nearly anywhere in the world for several months.
The 12 boats of the Benjamin Franklin class followed Lafayette and were based on a similar design; again the last boats were retired in 1995 and replaced by the current Ohio class.
It is known that a single ballistic missile submarine, the Xia, entered service in 1988 and was reportedly followed by a second of class, although the latter boat is no longer in service for reasons unknown.

A customised development of Russian Project 885 Yasen/Graney Class Nuclear powered Attack Submarine (SSN) also referred to as Severodvinsk Class, which is a further derivative of the Project 971 Akula Class SSN and features a significant cruise missile capability with eight vertical launch tubes aft of the sail, appears to be yet another choice.
Although a SSN, the dimensions of Severodvinsk Class approach the dimensions of the French Le Redoutable Class ballistic missile submarines.
Although submerged submarines are relatively invulnerable, the submarines while in bases are susceptible to pre-emptive strike and sabotage.

 Ballistic missile submarine
A ballistic missile submarine is a submarine equipped to launch ballistic missiles (SLBMs), such as the Russian SS-N-18 or the American Trident.
Ballistic missile submarines differ from attack submarines and cruise missile submarines; while attack submarines specialize in combat with other naval vessels (including enemy submarines and merchant shipping), and cruise missile submarines are designed to attack large warships and tactical targets on land, the primary mission of the ballistic missile is nuclear deterrence.
The French Navy strategic nuclear submarines are labeled "SNLE", for Sous-marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins ("Device-Launching Nuclear Submarine").

The Redoutable class submarines forming France's Strategic Ocean Force have been equipped with M-4 missiles, each with six TN-70 or TN-71 nuclear warheads of 150 kt.
The M-4 missiles are carried by the `L'Inflexible' class, with five SSBN in service each carrying up to 16 missiles.
Falling under the concept of strict sufficiency, this program was reorientated towards the version M 51, whose range will be about 6 000 kilometers and who will be able to carry from 2015 of the nuclear heads of new generation (TNO).
