It's been announced tonight that Jacques Chirac has decided that France's second aircraft carrier will be built jointly with the UK. All together, three similar hulls should be built.
It will be bigger than the Charles de Gaulle but it wont use nuclear power.
It will use catapults to launch the Rafale multi role fighters that are currently entering service.
The in service date has not been announced but can be expected for around 2015
