Admiral Prazuck takes his command in a context of high operational activity related to the increased challenges of defense and safety at sea. Operational excellence is a key to success. It relies on the involvement of every sailor, civilian and military.

Admiral Prazuck will continue the modernization process started by his predecessor. The success of this transformation is closely related to the know-how, the fighting-spirit and morale of the sailors.

Admiral Prazuck sailed aboard both submarines and surface combatants. He was commanding the famous "Commandos Marine" (French Navy special forces) between 2010 and 2012. He was then at the head of the human ressources of the French Navy until his appointment as Chief of Navy.
