My super super ultra robot space super ultra destroyer cruiser frigate carrier-nought sivar destroyer ultra super spaceship IV is better than yours because it's 10,343,232,2321,23123,231256319 meters long. That's so long that the placement of the commas stops making sense!

OK, if u want... u must know France has a new CVN, called Charles de Gaulle, which will launch our new Rafales. The problem is that, firstly, Rafales are not finished (we've got only five of those planes). Then, they broke a propeller, and the company who built it do not exist any more, so that they put an old propeller of another CV, the Clemenceau, while building a new. Few weeks ago, they got a problem of "gaz poisoning", and last week, I heard that they welded the "reactor tank" (i don't know if we can say that, but that is where they put uranium) because they broke an argent seam on it, and they could not replace it (too expensive and too long to build).
And they've send it to help American units in Afghanistan...
Of course, this will be the best CVN on Earth... but, today, everybody blames it, and is joking with it and its problems...

The phrase you're looking for is "reactor vessel."
Forgive me for asking, but don't you guys still have your Super Etendards and F-8E(FN)s? If so, can't you fly those off the CdeG?
And I'd heard that the C de G is giving the FN no end of difficulty because of inadequate power, needing refueling before they expected (as in, next year), very small air wing (1/3 to 1/2 that of an American carrier), low top speed, et cetera. In its favor, it appears to have a small crew requirement (less than half that of an American Nimitz-class heavy carrier).

Of course, the CdG is full of Super-Etendards, but they are old, you know...
Here are his caracteristics (compare them to US Carriers):
Lenght: 261.5 m
Width: 64 m
Max velocity: 27 knots
Aircafts: 40 (Super-Etendards and Rafales - Rafale Rules !)+ Hawkeyes
Crew: 1950 (eventually +800 soldiers)
Hangar: 4500 m²
Autonomy: 95% operationnal during 45 days
2 elevators (36 t)
It can also launch 20 tonnes aircrafts with a sea force 5-6...
