Triomphant-class submarine
removed the conversion of the reactor's 150 MW of power into 250,000 hp : these are thermal Watts, (150MWth) which are not related to propulsion, there is no way to obtain any horsepower before vapor acts on turbines which have an efficiency nowhere near to 100%, especially using turbines designed about 40 years ago during the early 80's design phase.

Over-the-horizon radar
ONERA's website says detection range is in excess of 3000km, BTW, Nostradamus monitors Ariane space rockets launches in Kourou, Guyana = 7000km, ice-pack moves n the Arctic, the Moon's distance and even solar eruptions. Its uses go well beyond a military OTH
