France's New Aircraft Carrier: A Big Step for the Navy

France is making a big move in military tech. They are building a new aircraft carrier called PA-Ng. This will replace their current one, the Charles de Gaulle, starting in 2038. President Macron made this big announcement while talking to French troops in Abu Dhabi. He thanked everyone involved in the project. He said this project will help the economy and many small businesses.The new carrier is huge! It's 310 meters long and weighs 78, 000 tonnes. It can carry 30 fighter jets and other planes. It has cool tech like a system to launch planes using magnets. The plan is to start building it in 2032. It will be finished and ready for sea trials by 2036. The French Navy is also planning to use drones on this carrier from around 2040. This is a big deal for France. It shows they are serious about their military and tech. But it's also a lot of money and effort. Will it be worth it? Only time will tell.
