French Carrier To Support Afghanistan Operations
April 11, 2006: France is sending its nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, to the coast of Pakistan. There, the carrier will sent its twenty warplanes to bases in Afghanistan, to support NATO peacekeeping efforts. The de Gaulle will arrive off Pakistan in May, 2006.
Note they are not even trying to run flight operations off this tub, just using her to ferry planes to the theater.
