The French aircraft carrier "Clemenceau" is one of the largest and
most powerful ships that served the Marine Nationale. Her keel was
laid in November 1955 at the Brest Arsenal Ch. Atlantique in St.
Nazaire, and she was launched two years later - on December 21st,
1957. Together with the twin "Foch", it was built on the basis of a
project developed from the beginning of the 1950s, which included
almost all of then novelties that were introduced in the
construction of this type of ships. Therefore, she received, among
others: a sloped flight deck with two lifts, mirror systems
facilitating the approach to landing, means of observation enabling
early detection of surface units and means of air attack, and
modern catapults adapted to work with jet aircrafts with a large
take-off mass. The length of the flight deck was 257 meters, the
main runway was 165.5 meters long and 29.5 meters wide, with a
deviation from the centre of the ship by 8 degrees. The hangar
below it was 180 meters long and 22 meters wide. In more than forty
years of service, which began on November 22, 1961, the
"Clemenceau" performed countless tasks in both European and Pacific
waters. She supported the activities of the land forces, incl. in
former French colonies and during nuclear tests. Together with
"Foch", she formed one of the strongest task force in the
Mediterranean region and the waters of Western Europe.
