South of the Channel, France still has a credible Naval Aviation, for some years to come - one big nuclear carrier, the "Charles de Gaulle" currently bombing Afghanistan from offshore Pakistan - and three helicopters carriers (Ocean-type vessels)
Aircraft on-board are Rafale (one squadron) and Super-Etendard (two squadrons) plus a small squadron of Hawkeye - all from the french Marine Nationale, not the Air Force.
Just food for thought.
