France will send a "Charles de Gaulle" nuclear aircraft carrier

Shouldn't that read The Charles de Gaulle nuclear aircraft carrier, since the Charles de Gaulle is a class of one?

Has France given indicated which side they plan to fight on?

Perhaps they’ll wait to see how things go before deciding.

The “Charles de Gaulle:” You know a nation does not have a serious naval tradition when they have to name their best ships after guys who served in the ARMY. I mean, why not call it the “Jean-Francois Darlan?”

It is possible they have already surrendered to Iran. They let Iran have their Battleship as part of the surrender?

Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

This is a formidable force by modern European standards.

If they can get it there.

We and the Japanese are the only countries that have done well with this class.
