The "Charles de Gaulle." Note the discolored (rusted?) flight deck.


The USS Enterprise (upper ship) sailing alongside the "Charles de Gaulle." Which ship looks like it's ready for action, and which looks like a useless relic (even though it's much newer)?! Also note the anemic wake behind the CDG vs. the powerful wake behind the Big E.

Nope, just pilot excrement.

Your photos say it all. That ship is an embarrassment.

(Also I believe your caption should read "sailing past the Charles De Gaulle" if the wakes are any indication.)

That thing *will not dignify it with the term ship* is only slightly larger than a WW2 carrier.
