The Redoutable-class submarines are a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) that were built for the French Navy. They were designed and constructed in the 1960s, with the lead vessel, the FS Redoutable (S611), being commissioned in 1971. The class is significant as it represented France's entry into the field of nuclear deterrence during the Cold War.
