History

With the Clemenceau class carriers soon to enter service, the French Navy launched an effort to build a larger carrier specifically with the nuclear strike role in mind. Construction of the carrier was considered in 1958 but due to cost the program was cancelled in 1961.

For more than 30 years, France would rely on the Clemenceau class to provide fixed wing aviation. These two ships were modified in the 1980s to accommodate AN-52 nuclear bombs, taking part of the role of the cancelled Verdun. France built a new carrier finally in the form of the Charles de Gaulle at the end of the 1990s.

[ru] PA 58 (авианосец)

PA 58 — проект авианосца ВМС Франции. Проектирование началось в 1958 году, когда уже шло строительство авианосцев типа «Клемансо» (проект PA 54). Разработка PA 58 была вызвана желанием французского руководства получить более крупный авианосец, с которого могли бы действовать тяжёлые самолёты, способные наносить ядерные удары, в рамках ядерной доктрины Франции. Предполагалось обеспечить базирование на PA 58 ударных самолётов «Мираж» IV, а также штурмовиков «Этандар» IV и противолодочных самолётов «Ализе». Будущий авианосец намечалось назвать «Верден» (фр. Verdun), но в 1961 году проект был закрыт[1].
