   This week we visited Le Redoutable (former nuclear submarine), and inside was this very cute computer-looking thing, with pdp11-like switches.
   
   Thing is, trying to ddg it didn't yield anything, the manufacturer itself (Sintra ?) doesn't even have a wikipedia page, let alone for this specific model.
   
   Does this ring any bells with anyone here? Especially with French retrocomputing nerd?

     Sintra is just a former military subsidiary of the current Thales/Thomson-CSF group

     The full name of the sonar is Thomson Sintra DSUX 21 and it's a proprietary system

     @kicou Yeah, nah. Le Redoutable was decommissioned (1991) before Thomson Sintra was created (1996)
