video inside shows two carriers for about four minutes -- with no escort vessels around them
(or did I miss some? likely a submarine :)

In case you did not know videos like this are photo ops. And the escorts are within a few miles. Most of the time at see you don't see the escorts up-close. The escorts are just out of site for this photo op. Trust me.. they are there.

France backs off sending Mistral warship to Russia in $1.7 billion deal

French officials said Wednesday that they will not deliver the first Mistral-class amphibious warship that Russia had ordered from Paris as part of a $1.7 billion weapons sale, a strong rebuke after months of aggressive actions by Russia in eastern Ukraine.

All I can state is Wow!..Questions arise.
1) Will France EVER deliver the ship to Russia?
2) Will France keep the ship for itself even though I'm sure all the Russian checks for payment on these ships have cleared the bank.
3) Would Russia try to commandeer the ship and bring it home to Russia at the possible risk of war?

I'd like to know what navyreco thinks of this situation & what all our carrier aficionados think.

I don't think Russia will do anything except to complain to the UN or World Court.
