[You Gotta Be Kidding Me]

"It's been downhill ever since. So the plan is to buy into the new British carrier building program and keep the "de Gaulle" in port and out of trouble as much as possible. The British have a lot more experience building carriers, and if there are any problems with the British designed ship, one can blame the British."

Can you say, 'IRONY'? SHEEEEEEEEEESH!!!! General de Gaulle fled to Britain after the Battle of France was lost. The Britts saved the man, de Gaulle, then, why shouldn't we expect them to save the ship, de Gualle, now?

When the washer machines were running on the ship, it would shake the whole carrier. Hehehee...

The Britts saved the man, de Gaulle

Much as I admire the man, I'll never fully forgive Churchill for that. Nor do I understand how Churchill put up with de Gaulle's constant pissing, moaning, carping and whining (not to mention his indivious scheming). Winston must have been tempted to have the bastard shot.
