Ship Model 1:400 Charles De Gaulle aircraf carrier
The story of the Charles de Gaulle began 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 Helicopter Carrier-75, a 16,400 t helicopter carrier equipped with nuclear boilers, a project that was eventually abandoned.
In 1982, the Conseil Supérieur de la Marine (French Navy High Council) requested that the studies carried out for the nuclear propulsion of the PH-75 project (which had since become the Porte-Avions-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 offered the ship the possibility of staying at sea longer without needing to refuel. More than 10,000 plans were drawn up by the engineers of the Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN), and on 4 February 1986, the construction of the ship named Charles de Gaulle was authorized. The ship was launched on May 7, 1994, and commissioned on May 18, 2001.
A real technical feat, this aircraft carrier has a system of 12 mobile masses of 22 t which compensates for rolling movements and enables the ship to operate its embarked aircraft in force 5 or 6 seas.
The Charles de Gaulle’s shape is “stealthy” to reduce its radar signature and make it less easily identifiable.
In 2020, France is the only country, apart from the United States, to have completed the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
