I did not mean to make it sound small.

I meant that they (the French aircraft carrier, the Charles DeGaulle) were not satisfied by just dropping every bomb they had on board - they keep reloading.

Essentially, they sail from Toulon in the South of France, over to the Eastern Mediterranean, and conduct combat operations until they need to resupply. They have stayed busy over there near continuously - something like six months on station, and then two weeks to kiss the wife and resupply.
