A bord du Charles de Gaulle
Flagship of the French Navy, the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is an extraordinary vessel. A floating city that never rests. Engaged since 2001 in multiple war missions and manned by an exceptional crew of 2 000 men and women, the "Charles" and its carrier battle group have forged a leading operational tool. Fascinating, demanding and essential for the defense of France's interests, the aircraft carrier is one of those special ships that write history.
Embarked during the Arromanches III mission in Syria and Iraq, photographer Benjamin Decoin and journalist Cyril Hofstein went to meet these exceptional sailors, engineers, air traffic controllers, atomic scientists, pilots, boatmen, mechanics, firefighters, marines, cooks and bakers who take turns day and night and in all weathers to carry out their mission.
They have succeeded in magnificently conveying, through their text and images, the crew spirit that drives this 42 500-ton steel giant, capable of traveling 1 000 kilometers per day.
