      Waiting around until 2038 to get this ship operational feels like locking in a lot of assumptions about future wars when hybrid and unmanned tech might have leapfrogged big carriers

      They should call it the Marshal Foch.

      Cause it will Foch up the enemy.

      I genuinely wonder with all of the drone wars if this is like building a new battleship class at the start of WW2 – between drones and hypersonic anti-ship missiles it feels like these are just expensive, floating targets

      We spent so much time discussing the implications of AI slowly replacing our human leaders in terms of governance, only to be completely blindsided by a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier replacing one completely.

      Looking forward to landing there, kinda boring to arrive at CDG. Wonder if airlines are gonna bother with arresting hooks for their fleet, though.

      The Charles De Gaulle is fascinating to me. The French contract out their launch system to the same provider that developed the US carrier’s slingshot, so the De Gaulle can accommodate US F-35’s and F/A-18’s landing and launching on its deck when necessary in joint operations. This goes the other way, too, with the Rafale being certified for operation on US carriers, and French pilots going through the same training process as Americans for carrier certification.
