...it was the noise from the washing machines (whew knew the French washed...Peeeew)

Also the conning tower windows frosted up....

Getting back to the washing machine noise....the French were cited but the Greenpeace nuts for disturbing the whales......and sonar operators thousands of miles away complained of the noise.

According to a source close to the defense minister, the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will soon reach the "Mediterranean theater ...

.....Umm the port of Toulon is the Mediterranean theater.

Sending the De Gaulle is like putting a Erte’ as a hood ornament on an Abrams tank.

Completely useless and for show.

Think it might lose a propeller again?

or someone will forget not to run all the washing machines at the same time and it vibrates the ship to pieces...

That the French want to be visible back benchers speaks volumes.

Could just be just simple saber-rattling, albeit very clumsy in execution.

Obama wants Israel to be forced into this war. Then he will help the muslim brotherhood sharia law pricks to over run Israel. I doubt they will be able to pull it off.

So is the U.S. Navy going to tow it for them again?

“...will be in collaboration with the U.S. Navy...”

Its hard to imagine the French military doing anything in collaboration with the US Military.
