A French nuclear submarine off the coast of Morocco

The French and Moroccan Marines will train as part of the thirtieth edition of Chebec, an annual cooperation exercise between two forces. France will use its nuclear attack submarine (SNA) for the first time.

Cooperation between the French Navy and its Moroccan counterpart is strengthening. The thirtieth edition of Chebec will be held from October 7 to 13, 2024. What’s new in this edition? For the first time, a nuclear attack submarine (SNA) will be engaged in this annual exercise. A first phase is planned at the dock, “the Franco-Moroccan flotilla, at least the surface units, having to meet in Casablanca, before moving in a second phase to the Alboran Sea, along the Mediterranean coasts of Morocco,” reports Sea and Navy.
