Makes sense. If the United States is stepping back then the EU is going to need some additional force projection to protect their trade routes. Specifically thinking about areas near the Suez Canal / Gulf of Aden.

Can’t help but feel this money could be invested better elsewhere in the French military, global expeditionary power may be an appealing capability but a single carrier doesn’t do tha for you, especially considering the other shortcomings in the French Navy. With the UK leaving the EU its up to France to counterbalance Germany when it comes to both military and economic power within the block and this doesn’t contribute to that. Bolstering land forces which have been neglected for a while feels like more of a priority

Waiting until 2038 for operational capability means we’re locking in a lot of assumptions about future conflicts, lots can change in a decade
