The French Navy (Marine Nationale) aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its strike group (CSG) will set sails in early February for the “Mission Clemenceau 22” deployment. The French CSG will conduct “tri carrier operations” with the Italian Navy (Marina Militare)’s Cavour CSG and the U.S. Navy’s Truman CSG.
During a press briefing held today at the French Ministry of Armed Forces, Rear Admiral Boidevezi explained that Mission Clemenceau 22 will focus on the Mediterranean region but some of the assets (a frigate and some fighters) will also deploy in the Black Sea. The French CSG will initially train with the Italian Navy and aircraft carrier ITS Cavour and its F-35B. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the two carriers will meet with the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) CSG and conduct rare “Tri Carrier Operations”. The French CSG will conduct additional activities with the American CSG. On the way back, the French CSG will sail in the Adriatic Sea.

“This deployment is a symbol of political and military power. We are sending a strong message to our partners and competitors. The possession of an aircraft carrier with nuclear deterrence is one of the attributes that allows France to hold its military rank, its rank of permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. I also remind you that the aircraft carrier has the nuclear naval aviation force aboard and that it is one of the components of the French nuclear deterrent.

In addition, the aircraft carrier and its CSG are NATO Response Force certified and thus the aircraft carrier and its command staff [ed. note: CTF473] are a key asset of the Atlantic alliance”.

I agree with this but why do exercises with a country that ran us out in the 60's. My best friend a mechanic and truck driver retired now said he hauled something out of Farance to Germany and it must have been what you operated. he said MP's told him to get lost until it was loaded. i said since you are here and not in Leavenworth I assume you got lost . LOL
