French Nuclear Carrier battle fleet

That scares me. Not militarily, but that the propeller might fall off, or that they'll create an international radioactive no-go zone when they scuttle it.

Do not insult the French Navy or the mighty warship Clemenceau, m'sieur, or you may suffer the consequences and become the target of a well-thrown bucket of rusty metal chips!.

I've seen 30 year old tramp steamers with less rust. How could the French neglect a main line ship like that.
