Aeronavale - Dassault-Breguet Super etendard 23 and 33 awaiting launch at the catapult, from Foch or Clemenceau, during an operational cruise. (Note: Foch and Clemenceau were two almost identical ships, to which the French Navy did not apply distinctive markings, making identification very difficult). Date: 1986

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we find ourselves aboard a French Navy aircraft carrier, likely the Foch or Clemenceau, during an operational cruise in 1986. Two Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard 23 and 33 fighter-bombers are seen, their metallic surfaces gleaming in the sunlight, as they await their turn to launch from the catapult. The Super Etendard, a versatile and formidable naval aircraft, was a mainstay of the French Navy's air power from the late 1970s until its retirement in 2015. The 23 and 33 variants, while similar in design, were differentiated by their avionics and weapons systems. Here, they sit side by side, their wings neatly folded, their engines idling, ready to take off and join their carrier in the vast expanse of the open sea. The atmosphere is one of anticipation and readiness, as the crew prepares for the next sortie. The ships, Foch and Clemenceau, were almost identical, making identification difficult for the untrained eye. Both were powerful and versatile vessels, capable of deploying a large air group and providing a formidable presence on the high seas. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of aeronautical transportation at sea, a world of precision, power, and dedication to the protection and defense of national interests. The Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard 23 and 33, with their sleek lines and formidable capabilities, are a testament to the ingenuity and expertise of their designers and builders, and to the bravery and skill of the men and women who flew and maintained them.
