''Inflexible'' (S 615) is the sixth and final of the SNLE ("''Sous-marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins''", "Nuclear Missile-Launching Submarine") of the Force océanique stratégique (FOST), the submarine nuclear deterrent component of the French Navy. Construction began on 27 March 1980. She was launched on 23 June 1982, commissioned on 1 April 1985 and decommissioned on 14 January 2008. ==Design and construction== ''Inflexible'' uses basically the same design as the other ''Redoutable''-class vessels, but has benefited from technological advances over its predecessors. The submarine uses the M4 missile, which carries 6 independent 150 kilotonnes of TNT equivalent nuclear warheads. Their range is reported to be over . The boat also has the capability of launching the SM39 Exocet anti-ship missile. ''Inflexible'' received TIT (''Traitement de l'Information Tactique'', "Tactical Information Processor"), a cluster of French-designed computers and serial digital bus links for intersystem communication and DMUX21 sonar. The submarine has an improved inertial navigation system over other vessels of the class. She also has the improved internal communication system—SNTI, ''Système Numérisé de Transmissions Intérieures'' (Digital Internal Communication System). Other miscellaneous improvements were made in electrical systems, nuclear systems, improving safety and stealth and rudder and engines, improving reliability and stealth. ''Inflexible has an improved hull profile. The other ''Redoutable''-class submarines have been modified to meet the standards of ''Inflexible'' ("Refonte M4"). ''Inflexible'' was officially decommissioned on 14 January 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French submarine Inflexible (S615)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
