Description

The history of the Charles de Gaulle begins in 1974, the year in which the oil crisis shook the industrialized countries. In this context, the French government decided to launch the construction of the Porte-Hélicoptères-75, a 16,400 t helicopter carrier equipped with nuclear boiler rooms, a project that was eventually abandoned. In 1982, the Conseil Supérieur de la Marine requested that the studies carried out for the nuclear propulsion of the PH-75 project (now The Aircraft Carrier-75 and then the PA-83) be used to define a new generation of aircraft carriers capable of replacing the Clémenceau and the Foch before the end of the century. Nuclear propulsion offers the vessel the opportunity to stay longer in the sea without the need to refuel. More than 10,000 plans were then drawn up by the engineers of the Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN), and on February 4, 1986, the construction of the ship named Charles de Gaulle was authorized. It will be launched on 7 May 1994 and commissioned on 18 May 2001. A true technical feat, this aircraft carrier has a system of 12 mobile masses of 22 t that compensates for roll movements and allows the ship to implement its aircraft embarked by sea of force 5 or 6. The shapes of the Charles de Gaulle are "stealthy" to reduce its radar signature to make it less easily identifiable. In 2020, France is the only country, outside the United States, to have completed the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
