The reason why the Rafale M and the super-ensign attack aircraft appear on the Palm Coast has to start with their mothership, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, and the French provisional Atlantic formation to which the mother ship Charles de Gaulle belongs is at this time from the port of Melbourne along the St. Port Lucy goes south.

The flagship of this French provisional Atlantic formation is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.

FrenchaircraftcarrierCharlesdeGaulle, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, the French translation is porte-?aischarlesdegaulle, and the hull number is R91.

The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in France and the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world that is not under the control of the US Navy.

Among them, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is the tenth aircraft carrier in the history of France, and its name comes from the famous French military general and statesman Charles de Gaulle.

The shallow sea combat landing ships of this French provisional Atlantic formation are "Lightning" with hull number L9011 and "Hot Wind" with hull number L9012, a large "Lightning" class landing dock ship (LSD).

The "Lightning" class dock landing ship refers to two large "Lightning" class dock landing ships built at the French Naval Shipbuilding Bureau () Naval Shipyard in Brest, among which the first "Lightning", hull number L9011, Officially commissioned in 1990, the second "Hot Wind", hull number L9012, was officially commissioned in 1998.

The "Lightning"-class landing ship with a dock volume of 13,000 cubic meters can be used as a floating dock or carry landing vehicles, and its dock can also accommodate ten medium-sized landing craft, or can also accommodate a mechanized landing craft and four Medium landing craft.

Movable decks are used to provide vehicle parking spaces or carrier-based helicopter landing operations. Install a cargo lift with a lift of up to 52 tons; another 12-meter crane has a rated lifting capacity of 37 tons.

The "Lightning" class landing dock ship has a crew of 210 and 13 officers, and has a lasting power of 30 days. Capable of carrying 467 passengers or military personnel, or for carrying 700 passengers, the capacity can reach 1,600 in times of crisis.

In order to meet the needs of military and humanitarian operations, the "Lightning" class provides a 500-square-meter hospital cabin, including two fully equipped operating rooms and 47 beds, for large-scale medical and evacuation missions.

The "Lightning" class dock landing ship adopts computer-aided design and modular construction methods. The whole ship consists of 96 modules, each of which weighs about 80 tons. The full-load displacement is 12,400 tons; the total length of the hull is 168 meters, the waterline width is 23.5 meters, and the draft is 5.2 meters.

The Lightning-class landing dock has a 1,450-square-meter flight deck that can accommodate up to seven Super Cougar helicopters, as well as three helicopter landing points, two on the flight deck and one on the On the 400 square meter retractable dock cover deck, the flight deck is equipped with the Samahe pull-down system.

The helicopter hangar accommodates two Super Frelon helicopters or four Super Cougar helicopters.

The Lightning-class flight deck provides full support capability for four 9-ton helicopters in simultaneous configuration, including day and night refueling.

The "Lightning"-class landing dock ships are equipped with two sets of Simbad twin missile launchers, provided by the European Missile Design Agency, for launching the "Mistral" short-range air defense missiles.

Two Durance River-class supply ships were responsible for the provision of food and fuel for this French temporary Atlantic formation.

The "Durance River" class supply ship is the first supply ship with centralized logistics support functions ordered by the French Naval Equipment Directorate during 1971-1972 and initially designed in 1973.

Because the logistics support force of the French Navy had only two fuel supply ships converted from transport tankers in the 1960s before the 1970s, in order to support the ships' ocean-going activities, new supply ships began to be developed in the early 1970s.

Under the Directorate General of Naval Armaments, the idea of ​​the new ship is to centralize multiple logistical support functions on a single platform to quickly resupply the fleet. The main mission is to provide sailing supplies for the naval task force, providing ships with fuel, aviation oil, ammunition, food and spare parts.

Four more were ordered in 1976-1986. Build a total of 5 ships.

Ships 1 to 4 were built by the Brest Naval Shipyard, and the fifth was built by the Normandy Shipyard.

It adopts bulbous nose and square tail, with a first building and a bridge building, the supply device is in the middle, and the tail has a helicopter platform and hangar.

Responsible for the air defense and combat of this French provisional Atlantic formation are D-614 Casal and D-615 Jean Bart Casal-class frigates.

The Casal-class destroyer is a multi-purpose destroyer under the French Navy with the main task of regional air defense of the fleet. Before the Horizon-class destroyers officially joined the French navy, the two Casal-class ships were the latest and most reliant anti-aircraft ships of the French navy.

Because there is no ship classification of "destroyer" in the French Navy, all surface combat destroyers are called "frigates", and the French Navy of this class also calls them frigates and is listed as a first-class frigate.

First-class frigates are equivalent to destroyers of other countries and start with D as the hull number.

In order to replace the 12 Type 47 destroyers built in the 1950s, the French Navy launched the F-70 Georges Legg-class destroyer in the late 1970s, replacing eight of the Type 47s in the general anti-submarine configuration; and in order to replace the other four The 47 type of air defense configuration~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the 1980s, France changed its design and equipment based on the George Legg-class destroyer, and launched the Casal-class destroyer code-named C-70.

The main task of the Casal class is to **** French aircraft carriers and, if necessary, to serve as anti-aircraft escorts for other fleets.

In addition to air defense, the Casal class also has anti-surface and anti-submarine capabilities.

Initially, the French Navy planned to build four Casal-class ships to replace the original four Type 47 destroyers in one-to-one anti-aircraft mode, serving as the main anti-aircraft frigates for the two aircraft carriers of the French Navy.

In 1978, the French Navy officially signed the construction contract for the first C-70 air defense ship Casal, and in 1979 signed the construction contract for the second ship Jean Bart.

Casal started work at its Lorient Naval Shipyard in September 1982, launched on February 6, 1985, and entered the army on July 28, 1988.

As for the third and fourth ships of the Casal class, the budget was approved in 1983, and the order was officially signed in February 1984, and the third ship also started in May 1986.

However, due to the tight defense budget of France, priority must be given to ensuring the construction of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and the Triumph-class strategic nuclear submarine, so the follow-up ships of the Casal class must be postponed.

Secondly, the Casal class uses the SM-1 air defense missile with a range of only 40km and full semi-active radar guidance. Even the MK-13 device is removed from the air defense type of the Type 47 destroyer and continues to be used. Such an air defense capability is at most only It can be regarded as a small improvement (progress from Tartar to SM-1), and it is not a cross-generation upgrade at all.
