[quote="pilou"][url=http://www.janes.com/news/defence/naval/jni/jni091203_1_n.shtml]Afghanistan not on the horizon as Charles de Gaulle returns to service[/url]

[quote]The French Navy will declare the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle operational in mid-December after a two-year layup for a major refit and subsequent repairs.

However, the 42,500-tonne vessel will not be deployed again to support operations in Afghanistan for the time being, as naval circles had anticipated.

"There are no plans for a new tour in the Afghan theatre," a French general staff officer told Jane's on 1 December. "For the first semester of 2010, Charles de Gaulle will continue with exercises in the Mediterranean."

The staff officer gave no reason for the navy's decision to retain Charles de Gaulle in or near its home port of Toulon, prompting speculation that a fresh Afghanistan deployment may have been ruled out for budgetary reasons or due to concern over the ship's ability to withstand the rigours of a three-month deployment in the Arabian Sea.
