Yeah, the French are a bit niche for me, too. But it's Pluton first (replacing Hones John) and at the end of the Cold War Hadès. In 1992 Hadès was introduced, Pluton went out of service the year after. But instead of the planned 120 Hadès, only 30 were ordered. They were announced to be put out of service in 1996 with final decommissioning in 1997.
So, all in all, Hadès was active only about 5 years.
