Now I have an open source so I can write about what I have been hearing. 30 - 40% of NATO's airstrikes in Libya are coming from the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle. CdG cannot continue this pace forever. In fact, she will have to break off the engagement sometime this fall. Then, NATO is going to lose the biggest single contributor to its air operations. That cannot be replaced. The land bases within range of Libya are already strained to keep up. This highlights the usefulness of carriers in general and the importance of building carriers big enough to actually work, in specific.
