France Preps Carrier Move Toward Red Sea for Possible Hormuz Mission

France is diverting its nuclear-powered carrier strike group led by the Charles de Gaulle into the Red Sea and toward the Gulf of Aden in a pre-positioning move for a possible multinational effort to secure navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The deployment, described as defensive and in line with international law, aims to reassure shipping, integrate partner contributions, and assess the regional environment before any Hormuz operation; the move is presented as separate from other regional actions, and the Dutch frigate Evertsen has left the carrier group.

France’s Carrier Strike Group Departs for ORION 26 in the Atlantic

The French Navy’s nuclear-powered carrier strike group, centered on the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, set sail from Toulon to participate in ORION 26, a joint high-intensity exercise in the Atlantic. While exact CSG composition wasn’t officially published, observers saw the Alsace (D652), Chevalier Paul (D621), Italian Andrea Doria (D553), and the BRF Jacques Chevallier (A725) departing, with a focus on air defense and a submarine likely to be part of the group. ORION 26 will span the coming weeks and involve 24 countries, testing France’s ability to conduct high‑intensity operations in a joint and combined environment, against a backdrop of European security tensions and France’s leadership of the coalition.
