Salles himself was at sea in a sub when his father died, but the news was kept from him until he had finished his 60-day mission. He believes current submariners will likely only be told of the pandemic as they head back to port, in the final two days of their mission.
“The commander, I think, is doubtless informed about what is happening,” Salles added."[But] I don’t think he’ll have all the details.” French submarine missions last 60 to 70 days, with about 110 crew members aboard. So a crew that left at the end of February wouldn’t be expected back before the end of April. In that case, they will return to a world changed by the pandemic. On March 1, France had just 130 confirmed COVID-19 cases and two deaths. In under a month, those numbers have surged past 2,600 dead and more than 40,000 sickened.“They won’t have experienced the crisis as we did, with a bit of fear, the lockdown.
