Der französische Flugzeugträger beginnt mit dem Einsatz in der Ostsee und im Nordatlantik

>The Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is now deployed as part of mission LA FAYETTE 26, during which it will operate primarily in the North Atlantic. Under the command of Rear Admiral Thibault de Possesse, this mission pursues four objectives:

>- To contribute to NATO’s defensive and deterrent posture in Europe alongside our allies;

>- To secure Europe’s borders and participate in national and international operations to strengthen maritime security in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean;

>- To develop interoperability with our partners and allies;

>- To promote a free, open, and stable maritime space for the benefit of our populations, our interests, and those of our partners, within the framework of international law. The CSG, through its presence, contributes to the stabilization of these areas of competition and conflict.

>This mission comes at a time of increased Russian maritime activity in the area and shifting U.S. interests in the Arctic.
