I can’t offer anything on the nuts & bolts, but for the strategic justification of the submarine’s role in the Marine Nationale (late 19th/early 20thC) it would be worth studying the Jeune École. Try Theodore Ropp (pic) plus some good articles online such as digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Difficult to exaggerate the mess France is in. Public expectation of the right to a cosseted life vs massive debt vs international financial markets ready to ‘tear the economy a new one’ unless the figures stack up. #PigeonsComingHomeToRoost #France
