Two reactors drive two turbine generators and then three electric motors powering the propellers, producing 60 MW propulsive power. Refuelling cycle quoted at 6-7 years, or at 65% capacity factor refuelling is every 7-10 years, overhaul at 20 years, over a 60-year operating lifetime.

@@kevinmccarthy8746 Its not the ships propulsion that is the limiting factor however. The advantage of a Nuclear powerplant is NOT that it does not need refuelling for 25 years but the fact that it generates a huge amount of power. That is the TRUE advantage. Nuclear Carriers STILL have to refuel as aircraft do not run on pixie dust. They still need to take on board food and other supplies for the crew. They need to take on spares and weapons for the aircraft, and so on. A Nuclear carrier despite its propulsion still has to spend 6 months of the year in dock partly to take on supplies, partly to allow crew R and R, and partly for normal maintenance cycles, and believe me, a Nuclear powered ship requires MORE maintenance than a Conventionally powered ship, you do NOT want something going wrong with those reactors after all!! What that Nuclear Carrier has that conventional Carriers lack is the energy production ability to run a moderately sized town. This essentially means a Nuclear Carrier can run at Flank Speed literally permanently as it has no need to drop down to a more conservative Cruising Speed to conserve fuel. It also gives a metric s**t ton of spare power for future upgrades in weapons and electronics capability. Oh, and do you know how LONG it takes to refuel a Nuclear Carrier? Literally YEARS. The old fuel has to be carefully removed and stored, the reactor then decontaminated, in depth check and maintenance/rebuild, then and only then is the new fuel added. For this reason those refuelling periods tend to be used to also deep refit the Carrier. If the thing is going to be out of commission for 5 years you may as well strip everything out and rebuild the electronics, weapons etc etc....

This video should be named 'The French Naval History' since that is really all it is about. The French are doing here what British historians typically do almost everywhere, talking up (making their 'stuff' or events look more important than they are) their small navy and small aircraft carrier There is almost no general naval history, and almost all we see in the modern fleet scenes is the one and only French ACC, always in foreground so it does not look so small next to any of the US carriers in the background. But the video quality is excellent!

"... two enormous paddle wheels...." shows very small paddle wheels lol

That escort seems very close. I would have thought that with the range of missiles and torpedoes today, the escort would probably be on the horizon.

The Charles Degaulle allows the French Navy to project force anywhere, except when it isn't down for repair/maintenance, which happens more than you might think. Thats why you need more than one CVN to ever really make that claim. The USN. has 10. Id take the Brits 2 HMS QE and HMS P of W over the Charles DeGaulle any day.

OK. 1) The American Continental Army at its height numbered 80,000 men trained in the Prussian style. At its height, the British Army in what is now the US numbered no more than 44,000 troops, most of which came from 2nd Line Regiments. 2) The French and Spanish Combined Navy won the US War for Independence. Period. It was THAT Navy that countered the British ability to move troops and supplies. Without the French and Spanish Navies the Americans would have lost the war for Independence. 3) The British were fighting the other two large Superpowers of the day AT THE SAME TIME. Those superpowers being France and Spain. The most important Battles that determined who would win the War of Independence were not even fought in the America's. In other words, both statements I have seen you make thus far have been PROVEABLY wrong. The British fought the Rebels with 2nd rate troops whilst fighting the two other great superpowers of the day, and while the Rebels won, the French and Spanish did NOT..... Given that THEY were the real threat as far as the British were concerned, not the American Rebels, they felt rather less 'humiliated' than idiots like you try to make out they should be.

While you could certainly argue that the Gloire hastened the design and building of Warrior the technology and methods that went into Warrior were already being looked at by the Royal Navy prior to her keel being laid down.

Actually no, Gloire and Warrior were BOTH completed before either the US or the Confederacy completed Ironclads. The British were also experimenting with turrets at the time, though they were looking at the far superior Cole Turrets. Gloire was completed August 1860, Warrior was completed October 24th 1860. USS Monitor was laid down the day after Warrior was completed, October 25th 1861, and completed 30th January 1862. CSS Virginia was ordered July 11th 1861 and completed March 7th 1862. So no, the first Ironclads were NOT during the US Civil war. A basic look through Wiki will show you that, the dates the ships were laid down and completed are all there. USS Monitor was not even started until after HMS Warrior and Gloire were completed and commissioned into their respective navies, and both ships were nearing completion (and had been launched) when CSS Virginia was ordered....

Deeply amusing to hear the French historians claim that La Gloire gave them superiority over the British for almost 20 years, when HMS Warrior, faster, heavier, larger and better armed, was launched only a year after La Gloire, swiftly removing any ideas of naval domination that the French may have had.

A very brief look at actual dates would have informed your idiot self of this..... The ONLY firrst is that Hampton Roads was the first Ironcland on Ironclad battle, and that is ALL that is unique about those two ships. Nothing else. The Royal Navy were experimenting with turrets at the same time but were using the superior Cole Turrets over the Timble turrets the USN used. The USN threw them into service immediately simply because they needed the ships NOW, whereas the Royal Navy tested them first, got them working and then built a ship around them later. That ship was HMS Devastation, which was the first mastless Ocean Going warship as well as the first fully turret armed Ocean Going Warship. Get this through your idiot head, Monitor was USELESS for Ocean Going Navies. She literally sank under tow in seas that Warrior or Gloire could have handled easily. Monitors like USS Monitor simply did not have the freeboard for ocean going, they were too easily swamped, as proven BY USS Monitor. The Monitor and Virginia were basically River Boats, not sea going warships.
