Description

The aircraft carrier Foch (visual code R 99) was the sister-ship of the Clemenceau. She was the second warship named in honor of Marshal Ferdinand Foch who had declared: "Aeroplanes [...] are not of military value." The Foch, put on hold in February 1957, was built at the Atlantic shipyards of Saint Nazaire and put into service on July 15, 1963. The landings were on the oblique track of 165 m equipped with 4 strands of stop. The 2 50 m steam catapults made it possible to take off aircraft of 15/20 tons at 110 knots. The 2 elevators could raise an aircraft from 15 tons to 8.50 m in 9 seconds. Between 1980 and 1981, it underwent an IPER (Periodic Unavailability for Maintenance and Repair) which equipped it with a naval tactical information operating system, an inertia power plant for recalibration of the aircraft platform before catapulting, missile bunkers for AM-39 Exocet missiles and tactical nuclear weapons. It will be able to accommodate 4 or 5 AN-52 and then the ASMP6 missile. After a career of 37 years in the French Navy, she was sold on November 15, 2000 to the Brazilian Navy who finally disarmed her in November 2018.
