I agree with Vivian, we had within FG 3 carriers , Nimitz, Eisenhower cruising in mediterranean sea (which has vanished i don't know why) , and Foch, which is cruising abroad Toulon I am working on the 'Foch sister ship' Clemenceau, and the straight deck Arromanches (was UK Royal Navy Colussus). An other one is coming an old US carrier Belleau Wood (an other straight deck) was in use in France after the war.
