France to deploy largest warship in mission against IS

France is sending its largest warship to join operations again Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Iraq.

Its involvement in the campaign will shorten the time it takes for French jets to carry out air strikes.

France has been targeting IS in Iraq as part of the US-led coalition since September 2014. In September this year French forces began air strikes in Syria.

The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has already been deployed against IS.

The ship - France's only such vessel - was used as a base for French jets in the Gulf from February to April.

France is currently using six Mirage jets stationed in Jordan and six Rafale jets in the United Arab Emirates to target IS.

The aircraft carrier can hold up to 40 aircraft and support 100 flights a day...

    El portaviones francés Charles de Gaulle, que apoyará la Fuerza Aérea del país en las operaciones contra el grupo yihadista Estado Islámico (EI), zarpará el 18 de noviembre de la ciudad de Tolón a su nuevo destino, comunicó el portavoz del Gobierno de Francia, Stéphane Le Foll.

    "Un grupo de combate saldrá de Tolón dentro de varios días, el 18 de noviembre, y alcanzará el golfo Pérsico para mediados de diciembre", dijo citado por la cadena BFMTV.

    Anteriormente, el miembro del Comité de Defensa Nacional de Francia, Eduardo Rihan Cypel, afirmó que el buque llegará "lo más tarde a finales de este año".
