The scale of these things is always fascinating. They're always much larger than I think they are.

For reference, I think that's a Suffren class, making it just shy of 100m, or a tad longer than a football field for my fellow Americans.

It's there, but hard to see.

It's a football field, Micheal. How big could it be, a banana?

The previously-mentioned French article says it's a Barracuda, but I don't know if that's a model or a class.

And unsurprisingly, he also decided to offer the Royal Canadian Navy its "premium" model, the Barracuda, rather than the Scorpène.

The Barracuda is (apparently) an export variant of the Suffren and is indeed a little shorter but still over 300 ft long.

Canadian football fields are 100m, so just the right size for us!

CFL fields are 110 yards, which is about 100m. Close enough I guess :)
