The Aircraft Carrier that will replace the “Charles de Gaulle” will be named “Free France”

French President Emmanuel Macron announced today that the next-generation aircraft carrier, which will replace the “Charles de Gaulle” in 2038, will be named “France Libre” (“Free France”), in honor of the “French spirit” of resistance embodied by the French general.

“I wanted to integrate our future aircraft carrier into the legacy of General De Gaulle. His life, his destiny. The choices he made already in June 1940, after the defeat, reflect a specific idea for France,” Macron said while speaking at the construction site of the nuclear reactors for the future flagship of the French Navy in Indre, near Nantes.

“For him, for us, the French spirit is a spirit of resistance. It is a will that nothing can stop. A will to resist in order to remain free. An unwavering, invincible will,” he added.
