In peacetime, the Jeanne d’Arc was used as a training establishment by the French training squadron for naval officers. At that time, the helicopter carrier had an air group comprising two Alouette III helicopters from French Naval Aviation, reinforced by a detachment of combat helicopters from French Army Light Aviation (ALAT), including two Pumas or Cougars and three Gazelles, with a crew of 40 men. In wartime, the Jeanne d’Arc deployed on combat missions, both in the field of anti-submarine warfare, carrying 8 WG-13 Lynx helicopters, and in the field of foreign missions, deploying ALAT Pumas and Gazelles and transporting landing troops. The Jeanne d’Arc is to be laid up at Brest Arsenal in summer 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337029746955,"sku":"81034","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-81034-jeanne-d-arc-r-97-1160786233.jpg?v=1749028938"},{"product_id":"heller-81071-1-400-foch-r-99","title":"Foch (R 99)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft carrier Foch (visual call sign R 99) was the sister-ship of the Clemenceau. It was the second warship named in honour of Marshal Ferdinand Foch, who had declared: „Airplanes [...] have no military value“. The Foch, put into the hold in February 1957, was built at the Atlantic shipyards in Saint Nazaire and commissioned on 15 July 1963. The landings were made on the 165 m sloping runway equipped with 4 stopping strands. The 2 steam catapults of 50 m allowed the take-off of 15\/20 ton aircraft at 110 knots. The 2 lifts could lift a 15-tonne aircraft to 8.50 m in 9 seconds. Between 1980 and 1981, it underwent an IPER (Periodic Unavailability for Maintenance and Repair) which equipped it with a naval operating system for tactical information, an inertial power plant for adjusting the aircraft platform before catapulting, missile bunkers for AM-39 Exocet missiles and tactical nuclear weapons. It will thus be able to accommodate 4 or 5 AN-52s and then the ASMP6 missile. After a 37-year career in the French Navy, it was sold on 15 November 2000 to the Brazilian Navy, which finally disarmed it in November 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337030402315,"sku":"81071","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-81071-foch-r-99-1160786231.jpg?v=1749028932"},{"product_id":"heller-81072-1-400-charles-de-gaulle-r-91-2001","title":"Charles de Gaulle (R 91) (2001)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of the Charles de Gaulle began in 1974, when the oil crisis shook the industrialised countries. In this context, the French government decided to launch the construction of the Porte- Hélicoptères-75, a 16,400-ton helicopter carrier equipped with nuclear boilers, a project that was eventually abandoned. In 1982, the French Navy High Council requested that the studies carried out for the nuclear propulsion of the PH-75 project (which in the meantime had become Aircraft Carrier-75 and then PA-83) be used to define a new generation of aircraft carriers capable of replacing the Clemenceau and Foch before the end of the century. Nuclear propulsion gives the vessel the possibility of remaining at sea longer without the need to refuel. More than 10,000 plans were drawn up by the engineers of the Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN), and on 4 February 1986, the construction of the ship christened Charles de Gaulle was authorised. It was launched on 7 May 1994 and commissioned on 18 May 2001. A true technical feat, this aircraft carrier has a system of 12 mobile masses of 22 t which compensates for rolling movements and enables the ship to use its aircraft on board by sea at force 5 or 6. The Charles de Gaulle‘s shapes are „stealthy“ to reduce its radar signature to make it less easily identifiable. In 2020, France is the only country, apart from the United States, to have completed the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337030762763,"sku":"81072","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-81072-charles-de-gaulle-r-91-2001-1160786230.jpg?v=1749028928"},{"product_id":"heller-81092-1-400-task-force-ravitaillement-a-la-mer-1968","title":"Task Force Ravitaillement à la Mer 1968","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece of modern navies, the naval air group, or „Task Force“, allows the projection of large forces in the context of regional crises or more serious conflicts. Structured around one or more aircraft carriers, this unit is protected by anti-aircraft and anti-submarine warfare escort, followed by a squadron train responsible for refuelling at sea. As early as the 1960s, the French Navy set up such groups, the new aircraft carriers Clemenceau and Foch were frequently accompanied by Tartar recast escorts, named after the anti-aircraft system equipping the Kersaint and Dupetit-Thouars among others. Away from its home port and sometimes in hostile zones, it is then necessary to supply the group with fuel, ammunition, spare parts and fresh food. This is the role of the tanker refuellers, the first modern vessels equipped for this purpose being the Seine and the Saône. A delicate exercise, refuelling at sea, or RAM, sees several ships sailing together, the tanker often being flanked by the aircraft carrier on one side and a wing escort on the other. The fuel is transferred by means of flexible sleeves, with the goods passing through pallets suspended by a network of cables. Finally, an important detail for all the sailors embarked on these warships, the mail of the families arrives on board on the occasion of such refuelling at sea!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337031483659,"sku":"81092","price":61.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-81092-task-force-ravitaillement-a-la-mer-1968-1160786228.jpg?v=1749028924"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/fr\/collections\/typ-mil-ac-1-400-pwr.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
