French President Emmanuel Macron announced the formal approval to construct a new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to replace the Charles de Gaulle, which entered service in 2001. The decision to launch the construction program was made this week, Macron told French troops stationed in Abu Dhabi.

The new carrier will displace approximately 78,000 tonnes and measure 310 meters in length, nearly double the size of the Charles de Gaulle, which displaces 42,000 tonnes and is 261 meters long. The vessel is designed to accommodate 30 combat aircraft and a crew of 2,000.

The carrier will be equipped with three electromagnetic aircraft launch systems and three advanced arresting gear systems, making it the only nuclear-powered carrier with catapult launching capability outside the US Navy. The ship will feature two K-22 nuclear reactors.

Construction is planned to begin at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint Nazaire in 2032, with the ship transferring to Toulon in mid-2035 for final outfitting. The carrier is scheduled to enter service in 2038, replacing the aging Charles de Gaulle.

The project is estimated to cost approximately 10.25 billion euros and will involve 800 suppliers, with 80 percent being small and medium-sized enterprises. Macron stated he would personally visit the shipyard in February to meet with the companies involved.
