FS Tonnerre L0914 Helicopter Carrier

The massive French Tonnerre helicopter carrier may not be able to travel fast at a low of 19 knots, but it has strength elsewhere. Tonnerre, which means “thunder” in French, uses its great mass to move land to sea, making it one of the most advanced amphibious water war crafts. Even though it is large and is considered an aircraft carrier, it strictly carries rotary engine aircraft only – meaning it only holds helicopters. It can hold up to 35 light class helicopters and 16 medium to heavy class.
