Nonsense.

Lol..the second Mistral was removed from dry dock as per the schedule to complete its build out, and work on it continues apace.

As for what other projects the French shipyard might have, the only ones I'm aware of are...building more Mistrals for Russia.

“Lol..the second Mistral was removed from dry dock as per the schedule to complete its build out, and work on it continues apace.”

Delivery was suspended indefinitely on 25 November 2014.

No, only the first two Mistral warships were to be built in France at the time the deliveries wee suspended in 2014. Another two Mistral warships were to be constructed in Russia with French assistance. Now there will be no third or fourth Mistral warships built for Russia in France or Russia.

The Sainte-Nazaire shipyard will be constructing some new cruise ships, not Russian Mistral warships.
