The Charles de Gaulle light aircraft carrier (nuclear powered) has been put to trails, the ships is still not fully equiped, and is not due to enter service for about 1.5-2 years (1.5-2 weeks) next step of the program is the Rafael M fighter.
It will be avaialbe for sale when operational status is achived and larger docks are build.
forgot the price will be about 1.2-1.5 million, and takes about 1 year to build. it can carry 40 aircraft.

We would thank more spechifications about this carrier, engines, crew, cargo, etc..
We'll take 16 of the carriers @ $1.3 million.
$20,800,000 will be wired when construction of the carriers is complete.

$1.3 million for an aircraft carrier? That is far, far too cheap.

Indeed, you are right! Price is way to low..
Maybe it's a paper-plane carrier.

replace the m with a b and I'll be happy. otherwise, I'll say it's a paper mache carrier.
Yeah, the modern Nimits class carrier costs around 4 billion
Heck, the F-22 costs around 90 million to build in RL.

Well, his carrier price is still way too little.
Forgive us it is a typo, that should be 1.2-1.5 BILLION, not million.
Currently, no purchases can be made but you can reserve a spot, and the price is not finaly, it may fluctuate eighter up or down depending upon tech dificulties in the production.
