  M45 Slbm
The M45 SLBM is the current standard French Navy's submarine launched ballistic missile (In French terminology the MSBS - ''Mer-Sol-Ballistique-Stratégique'' (Sea-ground-Strategic ballistic missile).
Around 200 M45 are in commission in the FOST, the submarine nuclear deterrent component of the French Navy.
The M45 differs from its predecessor by its increased range (6000 km vs. 4000 km), its increased accuracy and penetration capabilities and its new TN-75 warheads.

The two Triomphant subs each carry 16 M45 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) with six of the new TN 75 warheads, which are assumed to have been tested at the Mururoa test site in 1995.
France is thought to have already transitioned to an operational inventory of 288 warheads for two sets of M45 SLBMs and one set of M4 SLBMs, enough to arm three of the four SSBNs.
Of these four submarines, three are maintained in the operational cycle, although only one or two are normally "on station" in designated patrol areas, compared with three in the early 1990s.

The M51 SLBM is the future French Navy 's submarine launched ballistic missile, designed to replace the M45 SLBM (In French terminology the MSBS - ''Mer-Sol-Balistique-Stratégique'' "Sea-ground-Strategic ballistic")
The missiles are a compromise over the M5 SLBM design, which is to have a range of 11,000 km and carry 10 TNO MIRV of the new generation (''Tête Nucléaire Océanique'', "Oceanic nuclear warhead").
FRA: The French Navy expects to have the M51 enter service in 2008, and will be the only operator of the missile.

The launch of a Polaris A1 SLBM in July 1960 from SSBN-598 was the first from a submerged submarine.
The development of the first Soviet FBM submarine started with a governmental order in the early 1950s for the adaptation of a Project 611 (Zulu) diesel-electric submarine, B-611, to be equipped with the D-1 launch system and two 250km-range R-11FM (Scud) missiles—when armed with a nuclear warhead its range is 150km.
Deployed in 1996, the 6,000km-range three-stage solid-fuel M45 SLBM is loaded with six 150kt TN 75-type MIRVed warheads.
