This isn’t a show of force, it’s a demonstration for Canada who is planning to buy a number of these submarines from France.

What's the point of these submarines if there aren't nukes on them?

Nuclear submarines are powered-by nuclear power, they aren't necessarily platforms for nuclear weapons.

to demonstrate (politely) how quickly and quietly they can appear when we need them to. without endangering anyone or raising alarms that allow trump and co to rattle their sabers

There's a dismantled trebuchet on board.

To shoot at the ones with nukes on them?

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I guess they could use them as a regular strategic missile platform.
