French Dual Hull Catamaran Ships Placed Outside of a WWII Submarine Pen That Look Like STAR TROOPERS?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baselapallice02.jpg I saw these boats and was wondering what they were and if anybody had anymore knowledge on then. I swear, they look like star troopers from the Star Wars Trilogy. Are we about to expect a new trilogy where Vader controls the deep blue in a series called SEA WARS? ( kidding :)
