Its a good solid French built ship, not a shoddy Russian rust-bucket.

It was a joke related to the Charles de Gaulle, the French carrier that lost a propeller in the Atlantic on 9 November, 2000.

It may be a solid & practical ship, but it ain't elegant either.

In fact its one ugly mother.

BTW I wish we'd start installing super firing turrets on our ships again. They look cool.

and b/c it’s french, it has an advanced multi-platform surrender system.

sad thing is they probably have more balls lately than obama’s screwup of our armed forces.
