I think they are still having propeller problems, during the first sea trial one prop had severe problems that were due to manufacturing. I believe they just got out of dry dock after multilpe repairs.....

More than likely forgot their supply of white flags and instructions in how to surrender in every known language.

The nuclear-powered Charles de Gaulle has been beset by technical problems over the years, but is a potent symbol of French military power.

Yeah, originally constructed with a too-short flight deck and wobbly screws. It is an impotent POS.
