The Charles de Gaulle on the first page looks really good! I'm also liking the clean lines on their frigates(?).

I havn't seen much about the Eurocopter Tiger, looks pretty swish! Same capabilities as the Apache Longbow?

[Perry_9]

I would say yes. The Tiger is more modern, is full composite materials, has a very low RCS, sat coms, display helmets. It can launch rockets, antiship missiles like Exocet, anti-aircraft missiles like Mistral or anti-Tanks like Hot. Every system onboard has a double, datas are transmitted via optical fiber and double bus. Helmets are controlling the fire and can display nightvision/IR as well. It is painted with RAM absorbant paint and has freezers inside the turbine exhausts.
