"France's Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier"

Is that the one with propellers on the front of the ship?

I agree.The Strait of Hormuz is a big problem it is only 29 miles wide. Good place for an attack.

Nobody, including the French, likes pirates except in movies or as a Halloween costume.

I surprised France can sail a nuke-powered ship that far.

And NO, it will not be 1/4 of the world's Carriers.

We could put 3 there and it would still not be 1/4.

However, our Carriers are the only one's that count.

A French Aircraft Carrier? Is its fastest speed “Reverse?”

At least we can use the French to draw out the enemy as they retreat.

I think the carrier in the Gulf is new but the French were with CTF 150 off Somalia when I was last there in ‘05-’06.
