Presentation from the French carrier program office at april 2021:

"The loss of Western naval superiority requires us to refocus the carrier group on air-sea battle in order to maintain the freedom of action necessary in forced entry operations. An aircraft carrier for naval superiority is, above all, a platform capable of generating long-range, heavily armed sorties, at a sustained tempo over long periods of time."

30 fighter aircraft
3 AEW
5-6 helicopters
60 sorties per day

27 knots
All electric propulsion (3x shafts)
10 years between nuclear refuelings
65%+ operational availability

2,000 crew in 1- to 8- man rooms (They explicitly state that CVF-style manpower reductions have not been retained due to the potential risk of excessive automation on the ability to sustain high tempo operations).

Sea trials in 2036. Entry-in-service in 2038.

法护卫舰在南海停船检查 我军护卫舰在不远处监视​

[文/观察者网 王世纯]法国海军太平洋司令部2月20日消息，法国海军目前正在南海巡航的“葡月”号护卫舰（F734）2月20日在南海进行短暂停航，并派出潜水员检查舰体。不过，根据法国发布的照片，这艘万里来南海的法国海军护卫舰并不孤单，不远处一艘中国海军的054A护卫舰静静地陪着它。从法国发布的照片，这艘054A型护卫舰是我“衡阳”舰（568）。

近年来，法国经常派遣军舰，以加强在所谓“印度-太平洋地区”的存在。去年2月份，法国海军西北风级两栖攻击舰“雷电”号和拉法耶特级护卫舰“絮库夫”号已于曾前往西太平洋地区进行为期3个月的任务，途中曾进入南海，抵近我西沙群岛地区进行演习。
近期，法国经常在我台海、南海问题上指手画脚。法国目前有7处海外领土位于印度洋和南太平洋，拥有约150万人口。近年来，法国以欧洲唯一的印太国家自居，在印太议题上动作频频，先推出法版“印太战略”、又联合制定欧盟版“印太战略”。
欧盟22日将在法国举办印太外长论坛，除了美国与中国外，约有30国外长参与，这次论坛首次集结包括东非、南非以及阿拉伯国家，一起与印太地区等合作伙伴面对面交流。对于太平洋局势，法国外长勒德里昂接受访问表示，为维护台湾海峡稳定，法国方面已做好采取行动的准备。
随着我军054A型护卫舰装备数量增多，该型护卫舰当下是我海军巡航周边海域的主力。
