	Future French aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The previous French carriers, Foch and Clemenceau were completed in 1961 and 1963 respectively; the requirement for a replacement was identified in the mid-1970s.
		The French Navy was understood to be unwilling to proceed with another carrier of the same design and by 2003 the possibility of sharing the Royal Navy design emerged to fulfill the French requirement for a second carrier.
		The requirement for the carriers was confirmed by Jacques Chirac in 2004 for the centennial of the Entente Cordiale and on January 26 2006 the defence ministers of France and Britain reached an agreement regarding cooperation on the design of their future carriers.

	Aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck, the flight deck that serves as a take-off and landing area for aircraft.
		Carriers steam at speed, for example up to 35 knots (65 km/h), into the wind during take-off in order to increase the apparent wind speed, thereby reducing the speed of the aircraft relative to the ship.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the U.S. Navy, this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.

	Royal Navy CVF programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While it has been suggested that reducing the carrier force by one vessel will lead to a reduction in the ability of the Royal Navy to project carrier air power, it is planned that advanced design and maintenance techniques will eliminate the present requirement for major refits.
		The French Navy is understood to be unwilling to proceed with another nuclear powered carrier of the Charles de Gaulle design due to the problems and costs experienced both building and operating that ship.
		This allows the carrier to be designed for, but not with, catapults and arrestor wires for conventional aircraft launch and recovery (CATOBAR.) The carrier is thus said to be future proof, allowing it to operate a generation of aircraft beyond the F-35.

	French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		She is the first French nuclear-powered surface vessel and the tenth carrier in the history of the French Navy.
		She will remain the largest and most powerful European aircraft carrier at least until the introduction of the United Kingdom's future carriers or any upgrade of the Russian Kuznetsov, and is the world's only non-American nuclear carrier.
		The task force was comprised of the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle, frigates La Motte-Picquet, Jean de Vienne and Jean Bart, the nuclear attack submarine Rubis, the tanker Meuse and the aviso Commandant Ducuing.

	Second Aircraft Carrier / Deuxième Porte-Avions / DPA / PA2
		These aircraft require an aircraft carrier adapted to not only to them but also the the eventual mutations in embarked aviation capabilities in the foreseable future for the horizon 2050, specifically as far as the use of UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) are concerned.
		Two aircraft carriers are necessary to ensure the operational permanence of the air and sea group which makes it possible the political authority to have a capacity sovereign and always available of projection of power starting from the sea.
		Compared to the Charles of Gaulle, this aircraft carrier is 60% larger (40,000 tons for the CDG and 261.5 meters length).

	Future Aircraft Carriers (CVF)
		aircraft carriers were originally conceived during the Cold War as anti-submarine cruisers designed to carry a small air group, mainly consisting of anti-submarine helicopters.
		After the cancellation of the fleet carrier replacement programme in 1966 the term 'aircraft carrier' had become politically sensitive so the Invincible Class were initially envisaged as 'through deck cruisers'.
		It is clear that two carriers are needed to meet commitments as for instance in 1998 Invincible had to be redeployed from the Persian Gulf to Kosovo, placing a huge strain on the ship and her complement.

	Britain, France see future in aircraft carrier cooperation
		French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie and her British counterpart Geoff Hoon, meeting aboard France's nuclear-powered Charles de Gaulle carrier off the southern English city of Portsmouth, said the two sides had set a June 2005 target for reaching an industrial accord.
		Both nations have announced the construction of conventionally powered aircraft carriers, meant to be operational by 2015.
		The Charles de Gaulle -- the largest fighting ship ever made in Europe and France's only aircraft carrier -- was docked in England as part of yearlong ceremonies for the 100th anniversary of England and France's "Cordial Entente".

		The two vessels were expected to enter service in 2012 and 2015, however development issues have delayed this – BAE Systems CEO Mike Turner said in February 2006 "we do not know when we will be able to give an in-service date".
		The vessels will displace approximately 60,000 tonnes each — almost three times the displacement of the current British Invincible-class of aircraft carriers — and each will field an air wing of around 42 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
		Importantly however the difference in capability between a CATOBAR JSF and STOVL JSF is slight compared to the gulf in capability between the Harrier and, for example, the F/A-18.

		In December 2005, following discussions between the UK and French governments on the possibility of co-operation with the design of the next French carrier, the PA2, it was agreed that France would pay one third of the costs of the demonstration phase of a common baseline design of CVF.
		The carrier's service life is substantially longer than the 20-year service life of the selected F-35 STOVL carrier aircraft.

	French aircraft carrier heads home
		The new French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will be by far the largest in Europe, three times the British ones and it will be able to carry six times as many airplanes.
		The Charles de Gaulle will be the main warship of the French Navy for the next century, she will be the masterpiece of the French Naval Action Force and the French Carrier Group (Groupe Aéronavale) gathered around the carrier, her CAW and the FF Horizons ; a second one would be built (in 2010-2015).
		P>The French Navy had a choice to make: spend six months in the shipyard and four million Euros (dollars, to you) overhauling both catapults on their nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, or have NAVAIR perform the task in three weeks at a fraction of the cost.

		PARIS, The French government has decided to use conventional rather than nuclear propulsion for its second aircraft carrier, a move which paves the way for closer defence cooperation with Britain.
		French President Jacques Chirac announced the choice on Friday, roughly one year after Britain ordered two non-nuclear aircraft carriers to be designed by French defence electronics company Thales and built by Britain's BAE Systems Plc.
		Ranque estimated the total cost of building the French carrier at two billion euros ($2.56 billion), but said the final figure would vary according to how much equipment was shared between the French and British carriers.
