Charles De Gaulle Completes Refit

摘要

The French Navy carrier Charles de Gaulle completed a refit and upgrade in early December 2008. Prime contractor DCNS conducted the project at a sustained pace and completed it on time in just 15 months.rnThe main aims of the project were to refurbish the ship and its systems, overhaul and refuel the nuclear reactors, modernise the command information and communication systems, and modify the ship to accommodate new weapon systems scheduled to be introduced in 2009, including Rafale combat aircraft to standard F3, and ASMP-A and Scalp Naval missiles.
