History:

French Charles de Gaulle (R91) is French’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the flagship of the French Navy. Named after the former French president and wartime leader, she was laid down in 1989 and commissioned in 2001. As the only nuclear-powered carrier built outside the United States, she symbolizes French’s commitment to independent defense capabilities.

The carrier is equipped with a catapult-assisted takeoff system, allowing her to launch conventional aircraft like the Rafale M fighter. With a displacement of about 42,000 tons, French Charles de Gaulle (R91) supports a full air wing and features advanced radar, electronic warfare systems, and self-defense weaponry. Her nuclear propulsion grants extended range and endurance, making her ideal for long-term global deployments.

French Charles de Gaulle (R91) has participated in numerous operations, including missions in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and the Eastern Mediterranean. She remains a central asset in French’s power projection and NATO commitments, and is expected to serve until at least the 2030s.
