Sur la base de son concept Landing Catamaran, qui a donné naissance aux quatre nouveaux engins de débarquement amphibie rapides (EDAR) de la Marine nationale, CNIM a conçu une version agrandie de ces bateaux. Long de 44 mètres pour une largeur de 17.3 mètres (contre 30 mètres de long et 12 mètres de large pour l’EDAR), le L-CAT 44 permet, grâce à ses dimensions plus importantes, de doter l’engin d’une véritable passerelle et d’augmenter ses capacités d’emport. Il dispose, également, de locaux vie plus développés (cuisine, carré, salle de détente et 7 cabines pour l’équipage) lui permettant de naviguer en toute autonomie durant une dizaine de jours. Comme l’EDAR, le L-CAT 44 dispose d’une plateforme élévatrice entre ses deux flotteurs permettant de stocker du matériel et des véhicules, avec une capacité d’emport de 200 tonnes. Dotée d’une rampe à l’avant et à l’arrière, cette plateforme s’abaisse pour les opérations de débarquement ou, dans cette position, permet d’évoluer dans de très petits fonds avec un tirant d’eau réduit à 1.45 m (contre 2.7 mètres plateforme relevée)....

The Royal Navy's nuclear HMS Astute is taken through her paces after a difficult start to her life at sea.... The one disappointment for Astute's captain, Commander Steven Walker, is that he no longer has a traditional periscope to peer above the water. Forget what you may have seen on Das Boot or the Hunt for Red October. Instead Astute has cameras fitted on a mast that feed live pictures into the control room. In daylight it provides colour images that can zoom into a target. At night they use a thermal imaging camera. Unlike the old periscope that would pop out of the water for minutes at a time, Astute's mast breaks cover for just a few seconds. It can record what it sees giving the crew time to analyse the images. It's another feature that makes the submarine harder to detect....

India's largest naval base to come up near Vishakapatnam... The work on the Project Varsha began in 2005, and when completed, it is expected to be a gem of the Indian Navy. Seen by many as another step in fulfilling the ambitions of India’s ‘Look East policy, Project Varsha is expected to be the largest such base in the country once it is completed. Experts claim that Ramkonda’s proximity to Vishakapatnam, which is the headquarters of Eastern Naval Command and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is what prompted Indian Navy to build a base there. The base, envisaged for the exclusive use of the Navy, is also expected to ease off traffic from the Vishakapatnam harbor.

Le navire "espion" français Dupuy de Lôme a "été plusieurs fois au large de la Syrie" (crédit : marine nationale / GUIAVARCH) Echanges de mails, téléphone fixe, lignes GSM … l’ensemble des communications peut servir à se faire une image de la situation dans le pays, des mouvements de troupes ou de l’humeur possible. La force – ou la faiblesse du pouvoir – comme les relations entre les insurgés sont ainsi scrutées à la loupe. La proximité du pays avec l’Europe facilite il est vrai l’observation.
