French Aircraft Carrier Now Supporting NATO

"The French Navy (Marine Natiionale) aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its air wing has
started supporting NATO's enhanced Vigilance Activities in the Black Sea region following a short logistical stop in Cyprus....rench Navy spokesman said the CSG will contribute 3 Combat Air Patrols (CAP) of two Rafale M each, per day. This translates into a nearly permanent (24 hours) presence. In addition, a daily E-2C Hawkeye flight is planned from the carrier, as well as occasion patrols by the two ATL2 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) currently based in Cyprus. The Rafale M will be refueled by NATO tankers present in the area. The patrol zones are the skies above Romania, Bulgaria and the Black Sea." NavalNews
