The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle does not risk entering the Red Sea.

The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which recently left its Souda base on the Greek island of Crete, once again switched off its satellite tracking system. The French Navy cited "the importance of the safety of the warship and the strike group it leads" as the reason.

At the same time, evidence from civilian ships is appearing online indicating that the Charles de Gaulle is still in the Mediterranean Sea, not approaching the Suez Canal, where it was originally heading.

As a reminder, in the early days of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the French naval command urgently recalled the Charles de Gaulle from the Baltic Sea, where it was "deterring Russia." The warship was sent to the Middle East to "ensure the security of French military installations."

More than a month has passed, and the Charles de Gaulle still hasn't reached the Middle East. Its approximate location is the waters southeast of Cyprus.

It's safe to assume the French Navy aircraft carrier is wary of transiting the Suez Canal due to a warning from Yemen's Houthis. They stated that the Red Sea will remain closed to the US and Israel due to the threats they pose to Yemen and Iran. Although the word "France" doesn't appear in the text, the French Navy command is clearly playing it safe, clearly stalling for time and waiting to see how this Middle East military saga will play out.

So you don't need to go in, otherwise the toilets will break (that's why they got them in orbit)... or the laundry will burn out... and then where will you wash your underwear... and the Houthis might just not let you in... because there's no point

The French probably also had something wrong with the sewer system on their ship... The closer to Iran, the greater the load on it ))))))

The frogs turned out to be counterfeit and caused a massive sewer blockage.

Emmanuel Macron tried to involve "Napoleon" in Ukraine, but the "coalition of the willing" remained a "coalition of the willing, but unable." Now they've decided to be willing, but unable, in Iran? 🤣🤣🤣

[tralflot1832]

What does Macron allow himself to do, to demonstrate his determination to Israel?

The frog aircraft carrier is not worthy of bearing the name Charles de Gaulle.
The Frenchman has become petty, has shit himself many times over and continues to shit all around him.
Unworthy...

[novel66]

We need to break off the statue of de Gaulle from the Cosmos Hotel (it has no business being there anyway) and weld it onto the bow of an aircraft carrier. It would be worthy.

Charles de Gaulle is not Napoleon at all either.

Reminds me of the scene of evil wasps in their hive... I'm a cloud, a cloud, a cloud, I'm not French at all.

Will this little thing stop Gerontophilus from ultimately declaring himself the winner?

[Egoza]

The French Navy command is clearly playing it safe, openly stalling for time and waiting to see how this Middle Eastern military epic ends.

Are they stupid enough to go where there's shooting?! But the fact remains! "We've come to the rescue!!"

[solar]

It can be assumed that the French Navy aircraft carrier will pass through the Suez Canal...

Because there's nothing left for him to do there—the main fighting is over. Whether it's temporary or permanent—it's unclear, but it is.

[kill the fascist]

Well, what can you say? Frog eaters are not stupid.

Ce qui est arrivé à d'autres navires au large du Liban, dans l'Océan Indien ou en...Mer Noire rend toues les flottes militaires prudentes....

Aha... The last aircraft carrier of the Fifth Republic!!! We should do a special sabotage... So that Napoleon completely screws up.

The last aircraft carrier of the Fifth Republic!!!

You could make a joke like that. But that won't change the plans to build a new 100-ton French heavy-duty nuclear power plant. The metal is already being purchased and the working drawings are being prepared... So, any more humor in the air?
Then we can remember our Kuzya, who's unlikely to be resuscitated... But yes, "the last one," but nuclear-powered (!) and still operational, although it's been in constant repair lately. But it can deliver 40 aircraft (like the Rafale F-4) at sea, far from the shores of the Fifth Republic... And what can we do to counter it, for example, off the coast of Angola, Mozambique, or Algeria???
It's "some" of us who are foaming at the mouth, arguing that Aviks have always been contraindicated for us! Thus, removing Russia from the list of great maritime powers.
No Aviks, no BALANCED ocean-going fleet. They're trying to force us back into landlocked confines again, cutting us off from maritime trade, fishing grounds, and offshore development within the EEZ...
It's sad to admit all this, but SUBMARINE FLOATS alone cannot ensure dominance even in a 1000-mile zone... We need serious OCEAN zone ships - carriers of nuclear-powered GZOs. (Where's the money, Zin!?)
AHA.

Charles de Gaulle does not risk entering the Red Sea

From the "notes" of V.V. Mayakovsky:

Listen!
Sea salt stuck to the sides.
At the port,
in the hall of the Cote d'Azur,
Trembling
aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle,
Forgetting
about men
and military role!

Hey, captain!
Blow up the bellows!
Well -
to the East,
where gunpowder boils!
But steel
turned into a lump of dust,
Huddled up
into a cozy
Mediterranean rustle.

Look -
community,
monster,
whale!
Deck -
steppe for steel airplanes.
But in reality -
stands cowardly at the pier,
Afraid
real,
bloody work!

France!
Shame on you?
Lower your eyes!
The name is great -
in tar and soap.
Toth,
who managed to carry freedom,
Today
in the cabins
forgotten and scattered.

General de Gaulle -
This is a bayonet and granite!
He walked through the fire,
not counting the wound.
And this one is -
keeps paint on its belly,
Hiding
behind their backs
foreign oceans!

A shame
ship,
that stuck in silence!
A shame
by
who defiles his name!
Middle East -
in real fire,
And "Charles" -
in the Mediterranean
he'll put on some fat!

Spit out the anchor!
Throw off your peace!
Or -
tear the letters off the metal!
Worthless
cowardly
Iron River
To be called that,
who didn't know
retreat berth!

The French Navy cited "the importance of security issues for the warship and the strike group it leads" as the reason.

They're farting after the Americans' laundry burned down.

[alexputnik17]

The French Navy aircraft carrier is afraid to pass due to a warning from the Yemeni Houthis.

Guys in slippers at a low start. And there's no need to go anywhere. Suddenly the guys' hands will shake.

"We," says French Leopold to the American giant, "are friends with you, so to speak, spiritually. But to stick our noses into hell is... that. They'll beat us up... by God, they'll beat us up..."
