What should France name it?https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-will-build-new-aircraft-carrier-macron-tells-troops-2025-12-21/
Jupiter... I kneel.
La Pen. By time it is launched it will be appropriate.

>>64662146How long is it going to take to make it? 5 years? 10 years?What about ‘Carrier Killer’ missiles? how cheap are they going to be when this thing is finished?Stupid waste of money.
>>64662146As in a second one? Because PANG was announced ages ago.
Le'insignifice
>>64662277Someone should call china and tell them they're retarded too.
>>64662146>Cardinal Richelieu>Jeanne d'Arc>2 GaulleTheses are the only valid choices.
>>64662277The LRASM has to make it through several defensive layers to hit the carrier. And you'll still need a few of them for a ship that big.
>>64662146Isn't this blud's government collapsed like 4 times in a row and next time there's executive elections he's going to be btfo?>>64662432Name it after someone who actually won battles for France, like du Guesclin or the Grand Condé.
>>64662227>My boatfu is now a skycancer Eh :(
>>64662227Based, just to stick it to the brits
>>64662146and why do they need this?
>>64662146Asterix. That would oblige them to make Obelix sistership
>>64662277Carriers remain the best way to project power beyond your borders. Fleets with no carriers are fundamentally outranged in surface actions and any shore based defenses that can kill carriers can certainly kill any other surface combatants.
>>64662146Belmondo is the only correct answer
>>64662146napoleon. it'd be hilarious to name the jewel of the french navy after an italian general. otherwise villeneuve (even more lmao)
>>64662146>What should France name it?The Charles Got Gaul.
>>64662146>FNS Cope>FNS Pointless Posturing>FNS Granny Shagger>FNS Why Do We Never Get Invited To Joint Exercises?>FNS Obvious Welfare Program For Presidential Campaign Contributors>FNS Yes, We Do Technically Exist>FNS Je Suis ArabeTake your pick OP.
>>64662146Do they even have money to get one built?
>>64662146Isn't France broke as shit?
>>64662146Can someone explain to me why the fuck would france need an aircraft career? And the expensive massive nuclear powered one?I know they have islands all over the place, but they are all nearby to barely functioning banana republic or small island nations, not like some advanced superpower is contesting their territory?For any Europe related operation this is useless and a massive overshot.Especially weird given they plan on building only a single one, and like a month ago France got it's credit rating lowered because their debt and budget is dogshit with Macron being like one of the least liked leader ever.
>>64662919Parking it in front of St. Petersburg and bombing the Baltic fleet
>>64662940Airports of allied NATO/EU countries of Sweden and Finland exist tho
>>64662948Yeah, but this is funnier
Why do they need a carrier? France literally lost all African colonies, itself turned into a colony for Africans.
>>64662919Yup, French economy is in bad shape and it will only get worse. Italy used to be #1 in eurozone government debt. Now France is on the lead
>>64662146>FNS Poorfags Seethe>FNS The Only Country With Nuclear Carrier Besides the US>FNS Hon Hon Hon
>>64662960The need a large ship with a flat top so they move more africans into their country faster!
>>64662919>For any Europe related operationFrance likes to chase the ghost of the French empire by dicking around in African countries. In it's modern iteration this is known as anti-terrorism operations. France considers itself a first world country and part of that is being able to give third world countries a bad day if you don't like what they're doing by parking a carrier off their coast and bombing them until rebels take over.
