French Navy resumes full ship shock trials
The French Navy (Marine Nationale) conducted a shock test involving a Lafayette-class frigate, the first such test in several decades. The move illustrates the navy’s commitment to increase its readiness for high intensity combat.
=====================
On January 25, off the coast of Toulon, the crew of the La Fayette-class frigate Courbet was shaken. The ship was at the heart of an experiment designed to test its resistance in the event of an explosion: a shock test.
Carried out at sea, this shock test is designed to test a warship’s resistance in the event of an explosion. This is one of the key challenges of the POLARIS initiative, which began in 2021, as it is during these experiments, under conditions as close as possible to real combat conditions, that the preparation for high-intensity combat takes on its full meaning.
