I thought the availability was more like one sub on station, one in transit and one in harbour.

Well, it all gets into a completely different light if not all six are missile subs, but some are attack subs.

Damn the Swedish media and their fleeting relation to truth.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

The french navy used to have six ballistic missile launching submarines. They have been replaced between 1993 and 2007 by four new ones.

France has six attack submarines, which it is planned to replace in the coming years (I don't really know when, because the government lacks money, as may have been said in the news)
