This article argues that French military naval construction suffers a certain lag in efficiency in relation to market technologies produced in the private sector. Not only is there is discord in the standards observed in civil construction and military construction, but the cost-efficiency of private sector construction is also a pertinent factor for the French military to consider. These observations mark what is likely to become an increasingly visible trend in French military development, where naval development will become more dependent on innovations realized in the private sector. Several case examples of civil-military collaboration are discussed here.
