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"},{"product_id":"heller-81093-1-400-escorteurs-rapides-e50","title":"Escorteurs Rapides E50","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the 1940s, the National Navy was considering equipping itself with frigates more or less derived from US-DE „Canon” class destroyer escorts, fourteen of which equipped the French Navy. The preliminary proposal showed a unit equipped with a flush-deck hull as on the US-DE types but with some elements inspired by the British „River” type, six of which were also used by our national Navy. The initial proposal of 1948 provided for an armament consisting of a 105 mm canon to the rear, two quadruple mounts of 40 mm rapidly replaced by two double mounts of 57 mm open-air Bofor canons, four 20-mm Oerlikon canons, one or two wake grenaders with a cut-out of the front superstructures providing the possibility of installing triple mounts of torpedo tubes later on. In the end, the adopted configuration was for three double mounts of 57 mm\/60 remote-controlled ACAD 1951 model under turrets, two 20 mm Oerlikon, four triple mount torpedo tubes of 550 mm and a Bofors Mle 54 sextuple rocket launcher of 375 mm.
