Aircraft carriers

The giant nuclear-powered American aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, is expected to arrive in Souda in Crete on Saturday.

Beijing launched a new-generation aircraft carrier Friday, the first such ship to be both designed and built in China, in a milestone as it seeks to extend the range and power of its navy.

The Type 003 carrier christened Fujian left its drydock at a shipyard outside Shanghai in the morning and tied up at a nearby pier, state media reports said.

The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has also made repeated trips to Cyprus

Amid threats from North Korea that it would attack American aircraft carrier 'Carl Vinson', Japan recently sent its biggest warship to escort a US supply vessel that was in the waters off Boso Peninsula.
