The superstructure of the stealth frigate Surcouf; the word Discipline can be seen on the plaque affixed to the port side of the front wall.

Honneur, patrie, valeur, discipline (Honour, fatherland, valour, discipline) is the motto of the French Navy. It is found inscribed on all ships and buildings, sometimes with each word on its separate plaque at a corner of the superstructure. A memorial plaque for Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who died in the Titan submersible implosion features the motto. It was placed at the Wreckage of the Titanic in 2024[1]
