During a press briefing held today at the French Ministry of Armed Forces, Rear Admiral Boidevezi explained that Mission Clemenceau 22 will focus on the Mediterranean region but some of the assets (a frigate and some fighters) will also deploy in the Black Sea. The French CSG will initially train with the Italian Navy and aircraft carrier ITS Cavour and its F-35B. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the two carriers will meet with the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) CSG and conduct rare “Tri Carrier Operations”.
The French CSG will conduct additional activities with the American CSG. On the way back, the French CSG will sail in the Adriatic Sea.
