minus-squareTheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up31·edit-21 年前The scale of these things is always fascinating. They’re always much larger than I think they are. For reference, I think that’s a Suffren class, making it just shy of 100m, or a tad longer than a football field for my fellow Americans.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-21 年前It’s a football field, Micheal. How big could it be, a banana?
minus-squareHellsBelle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前The previously-mentioned French article says it’s a Barracuda, but I don’t know if that’s a model or a class. And unsurprisingly, he also decided to offer the Royal Canadian Navy its “premium” model, the Barracuda, rather than the Scorpène.
minus-squareTheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前The Barracuda is (apparently) an export variant of the Suffren and is indeed a little shorter but still over 300 ft long.
minus-squareAlbbi@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Canadian football fields are 100m, so just the right size for us!
minus-squareTroy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前CFL fields are 110 yards, which is about 100m. Close enough I guess :)

perchance, banana for scale?

It’s there, but hard to see.
