Charles de Gaulle - Frenchman with an atomic heart
The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is the flagship of the French Navy, put into service at the beginning of the 21st century - one of the largest warships in the world.
Equipped with two nuclear reactors, Charles de Gaulle is currently the world's only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier built outside the United States.
The ship has a classic design with a large flat deck, steam catapults and arresting gears. This design makes it more versatile and allows it to operate a full-fledged air wing with fighters, helicopters, transport aircraft and AWACS aircraft.
At the beginning of its operation, Charles de Gaulle faced many problems caused by the integration of a large number of complex technologies, many of which had not previously been used by French shipbuilding. Currently, the ship is actively serving, maintaining a high level of readiness and participating in many different operations. According to the French Navy's plan, Charles de Gaulle will serve until the mid-2040s, when it will be replaced by a new aircraft carrier of the PA-NG project currently under development.
Thanks for watching!

    The Charles de Gaulle actually never delivered up to what was expected. Many problems caused too little operational deployability. It was just too often in a dock. That’s a real problem, especially when you only have one carrier. Replacement will be more like the QEII class and hopefully it will be two (although the UK shows that having two carriers leaves little money for full fighter deployment on both ships and the necessary amount of destroyers).

    I would not say the story has ended, though I hope so. This type of weapon is made for destroying bases, divisions, and other large scale military targets, not small gorilla units. In militaries with a more orthodox approach to warfare they are used to also destroy cities and other civilian infrastructure.

    I for one am glad that , that “someone in the White House “ who was offended will be back,, and let’s not confuse offendedness with intimidation, we had zero wars started, and it was possibly because the flex of a single MOAB detonation on terrorists. The message was clear then , as is the message of the current “someone “, though the clear messages are completely opposite. With Russia now declaring the US as an enemy, Hamas, Iran , The Hoothies, and countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen taking shots at American bases and ships with little to no response, we’ve got a responsibility to Israel, weather you like it or not,, and looming in the near future got China about to pounce on Taiwan . Seems to me doing nothing,, oh except fund Ukraine , about these current wars is the most irresponsible thing to show the world. We need a POTUS with balls that can and will complete a sentence and put the exclamation point at the end of it.
