It is my first time, through TV, seeing the Nuclear - powered French Aircraft Carrier, Charles De Gaulle (R91) 戴高樂號, join a combat in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Lybia.This vessel can carry at most 40 aircraft : mostly the French Stealth jet planes, Rafale M (range 3,340 km), Super Etendard (range 1,682km) and three E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft (of great importance in protecting the air-carrier and its planes on board). The ship will also support the AS 565 Panther or NH 90 helicopters.
The main deck consists of a main runway angled at 8.5° to the ship's axis and an aircraft launch area forward of the island. These are each equipped with a catapult, capable of launching one aircraft a minute. The runway is 195m long and the whole deck measures 260m x 64m. The carrier is fitted with the Sagem Defense Sécurité DALAS laser landing aid.
