france has a regular sized carrier not a super carrier, its the only nuclear CTOL carrier outside the US. The Royal navy has two carriers(the third is decommissioned and mothballed) And only one of the other two is operating as a carrier (the other is operating as an LPH) further the one acting in the carrier role only ever has ground attack planes available, no longer air superiority, and currently has no aircraft of its own (as they have been redistributed to other areas)

A super carrier takes miles to turn. Thus, the French will have difficulty running away.

One can only hope that they revise thier tactics
