  1. 53:17 Regarding these sorts of names, the French Navy is still doing it too. Two of their current SSBNs have the rather on the nose names Le Vigilant and Le Terrible. While the other two have names that sound rather worrying given their role, Le Triomphant and Le Téméraire. "Triumphant" and "Reckless" aren't exactly the best words to associate with nuclear weapons.
