Take a deep dive into the world of a submarine. Meet the men and women of the Spanish Agosta-class submarine ESPS Mistral as they explain what life is like ‘living in a tube’.
Agosta-Class Submarine
The Agosta-class submarine is a class of diesel-electric fast-attack submarines developed and constructed by the French DCNS in the 1970s to succeed the Daphné-class submarines. The submarines have served in the French Navy as well as exported to the navies of Spain and Pakistan. It is also used by Royal Malaysian Navy for the training purpose. The Rubis-class nuclear attack submarines replaced them in French service but are still in active service with the navies of Spain and Pakistan. The French Navy grouped this model of submarine in their most capable class as an océanique, meaning "ocean-going."
The Agosta class is named for its lead unit, Agosta, which in turn was named for the Battle of Augusta (French: Agosta) of 22 April 1676.
