DCNS proposes single-island design for French carrier programme

摘要

DCNS has commenced preliminary design studies for a new aircraft carrier with a conventional single-island superstructure as a candidate for the French Navy's Porte Avions 2 (PA2) programme.rnWith the French government having postponed a decision on whether to order a new carrier until 2012, DCNS is working on a solution that is a lower risk and hence cheaper alternative to the existing twin-island PA2 concept.
