#5 Also involved in Operation Orion 08 will be two minesweepers

We always send two minesweepers out on routine deployments with the carriers.

#6 Maybe Sarko will send the De Gaulle? That would certainly reaffirm French and US relations.

#7 So, it'll take the Brits perhaps 5 months just to prepare for such a deployment!

#8 Besoeker, the French top-line carrirer strike aircraft have recently made traps and cat launches off the deck of the Enterprise (when it was underway in the Med just a couple of months ago on the way to the gulf). It even made a port call in France. Big change for us and the French with Sark there.
