Information on the Nuclear powered French PA2 proposal.

No special armor.
Actually, the brit version needs that special armor for V/STOL ops. Not the french.
But there are really reasons for the gain of weight.
It was well explained in the last proposal by the builder.

Ca fait deux mois qu’on est au courant.

Two monthes ? Hey I don’t follow the story that close! 😀

What are they going to do, armour plate it ? :diablo:

I’d like to! A good armor is alway good to have! 😉

I guess that comes down to the catapault and recovery systems and 2000 tonnes of extra fuel storage. No doubt the CVF will take the increased fuel storage option so may go up a couple of thousand tonnes as well.

Et oui, derniere proposition de DCN-Thales.
Ca fait deux mois qu’on est au courant.

Thanks for the link, Fran?ois5, it’s extremely interesting, but wait: the aircraft carrier project is now considered for a 74 000 tonnes size ?? 😮

This very large model of the latest DCN/Thales PA2 “Projet Juliette” concept was displayed on the DCN stand at Euronaval in October 2004, compared to Romeo the island has been substantially modified, and a bulbous bow added to the hull form. The large radar dome would have been replaced by a Herakles “pyramid” inside a cone.

Note that there is only one island, with a deck edge lift just forward of it and another aft. There is no noticeable resemblance between this design and the much smaller model of CVF that was simultaneously displayed on the stand.

Perhaps not everybody knows the following conventional design with one island?
I like it very much.

:confused: Never heard of this one before. The smoke exhausts look odd. Is “R9X” the project’s name ? How big should have it been ? When was this model released ?
Thanks for your pics, shiplover, Have you taken them by yourself ? may I save them for myself ?

Ahh, my fingers must have stuttered… DCN it is.

PA2 designs

Oh yes, you are right – I just overlooked the little word FAKE.
But I have seen nothing else.

Why DGN? I only know DCN, the yard that build CdG. These are the only pictures I have ever seen about a nuclear enlarged CdG. It is a interesting fake and I have never seen anything else dealing with a second CVN – has anyboy else seen anything?

A Fake DGN document?
Not really DGN after all?

Interesting but the word fake at the bottom intrigues me.

Yes. especially since the logo “DCN” appears on the document… :confused:

Enlarged CdG designs

Perhaps you are looking for this?

These are proposals DCN made for an enlarged CdG if I am not mistaken.

I have actually seen CG renderings of the Nuclear powered PA2 proposal both on the net and in Magazines, unfortunately I cannot find either now.

I am looking for information on the nuclear powered PA2 proposal before it was dropped in favour of a conventionally powered vessel. As I understand it the vessel was basically an enlarged and improved CdG, possibly with ba doubled up powerplant in comparison to that vessel with a displacement somewhere around 60,000 tonnes. If anybody has any info or even better pictures I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance sealord.

There isn’t that much information about the definitive “Juliet” configuration that came before the CV-F partnership.

In fact, the only drawing/deckplan that I’ve seen is a badly photoshopped drawing of the CdeG that was passed off as the PA2.
