Nearly 30 years ago, USS Forrestall (CV-59), now razor blades, deployed to the Persian Gulf with nearly 90 planes aboard. Just sayin’. At least our good friends the French have the stones to DO SOMETHING now, as opposed to The Won.

They have sent a strong carrier strike group, with a larger than normal air wing.
The Rafaels and Super Etendards will soon send ISIS their messages.
I know Navy Reco personally. Great site and a good military journalist/reporter.
He is also French and is feeling this attack personally.
Go get some FRance!

the Charles de Gaulle will deploy with a unusually large air wing consisting of 26 fighters (18 Rafale M and 8 Super-Etendard Modernis). This is above the official limit of 24 fighters and this would be a first in the French carrier history for an operational mission.The Etendards are ancient platforms - the Argies were flying them in the Falklands with some success against the Royal Navy.
I'd be curious to see what upgrades they've done to the aircraft...

Is this the French aircraft carrier that had a propulsion screw fall off?
