I know 2 U.S. Navy submariners. Submarines are always at war. There is no peacetime for submariners.

Will the French president target Washington D.C.?
The protocol is the same for every nuclear missile submarine. Once orders to attack are received from a president. The captain cuts all communications and nuclear war cannot be stopped.
Nuclear war is suicidal. Submarines alone could set the Northern Hemisphere of Earth on fire.

This class reportedly produces approximately 1/1000 of the detectable noise of the Redoutable-class submarines, and they are ten times more sensitive in detecting other submarines.[9] Initially armed with the M45 missile, they are designed to carry the new M51 missile, which entered active service in 2010. As of October 2010, an M51 has been test-fired from one of these submarines across the Atlantic Ocean from near France to the west, and is equipped on Le Terrible.
These boats were all constructed by the DCNS, and they carry an armament of 16 M45 SLBM or M51 SLBM missiles manufactured by the Aérospatiale company (now Airbus Defence and Space), plus conventional torpedoes and Exocet anti-ship missiles.
M51 missile,
The M51 SLBM is a French submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by ArianeGroup, and deployed with the French Navy. Designed to replace the M45 SLBM (in French terminology the MSBS – Mer-Sol-Balistique-Stratégique "Sea-ground-Strategic ballistic"), it was first deployed in 2010.
Each missile carries six to ten independently targetable TN 75 thermonuclear warheads.
