One precision, shipyard in Saint-Nazaire is owned by STX, no DCNS. STX is subcontractor of the contract signed by DCNS.
STX built especially civilian vessels including liners and sometimes military ships, drydock is greater as Lorient where FREMM is build, and Cherbourg is use only for build Submarine.
Brest get also a great drydock, a little shorter, little used, the last ship build in is the Charles De Gaulle which was originally intended to be built in Saint-Nazaire and be a little longer, especially for the forward catapult does not exceed on the track to landing, that would have allowed simultaneous takeoffs and landings as US CVN.

Can't wait to see when Russian Navy comes out with their new Aircraft Carriers. According to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, “By 2013, production capacity at Russian shipyards will allow us to build six submarines and an aircraft carrier every year,”.
That'd be something! Although, all conservative estimates put Russia deploying a new Aircraft Carrier, not before 2018. We'll just have to wait and see. This is due to reports that Russia didn't have the required facilities or equipment to build Nuclear Aircraft Carriers. In Mid-2011, it was reported that Russia will begin building the facilities required for Aircraft Carrier construction.

Well, 2013 is almost over, and the only large flat deck carrier of any type (the new Vladivostock) the Russians have coming in for themselves was mostly built in France...as will the 2nd vessel of that class.
Russia is no where near being able to put out six subs and a aircxraft carrier every year.
If they started building a carrier this year, it would be 4-5 years until launch for that 1st at the least. Unless they started a new one in a different yard each year for those next five years, they would not be able to accomplish the "carrier every year" statement. It was ludicrous for him to make such a statement in my opinion.
Russia just finished refitting the VIkramaditya for India and they were years late and twice the initiaal cost estimate.
I expect Russia will, sooner or later, build another carrier. But with the Kuznetsov going in for a long term, major overhaul, and with the major over hauls of the Kirovs, I expect it is going to be later. I would hope to see a new Russian carrier launch maybe in the 2020-2023 time frame at this point...and we will just have to wait and see if they can do that. In order to get it out by 2020, they need to start building it by 2015. That's only a little more than a year away.
