The Lincoln and the Truman. Hmmm, two of the biggest risk takers in American Presidential history. 1 and 1a.

Sinking fast: French aircraft carrier set to defend Britain breaks down
Daily Mail ^ | 10/31/10 | Staff

Posted on Sunday, October 31, 2010 2:00:28 PM by Nachum

The French aircraft carrier which is set to play a key role in defending Britain over the next decade has broken down. As President Nicolas Sarkozy prepares to use a London summit this week to announce that RAF jets will fly from the carrier Charles de Gaulle, his naval chiefs have told him that she is no longer seaworthy. ‘She is meant to be heading to Afghanistan but is instead in her home port with a faulty propulsion system,’ said a French Navy source.

"The force would help allied navies fight piracy off the coast of Somalia

The French were the mouthpiece for Saddam Hussein, are they being stationed in the gulf to speak for the Somali pirates?

I read the header of this thread and my first thought was... "What, did we lose an anchor from one of our carriers, and the French are giving us one??
