The vessels of French Navy’s Battle Group returned home to Toulon naval base.

The first to arrive was the nuclear attack submarine Améthyste (S605), followed by the Navy’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, frigate Chevalier Paul (D621), frigate Jean de Vienne (D643) and multi-product replenishment oiler Meuse (A607) a few days later on May 19.

The Group started its deployment on January 13, 2015, and was engaged in various operations during the four months they spent at sea.

No offense meant Shaitan but why did you post this pic in the French thread, man?
That is a Vulcan refueling an old version Nimrod MRA4, both British? 8-)

I remember getting to see pics and films of the Legion sappers when I was serving ( Saumur 1983+ ).
They were in Beyrouth then, at the time of the Drakkar incident. The images of those guys servicing
their heavy machinery ( bulldozers and others ) with the freshly inducted Famas slung on their backs
as snipers took shots at them because someone had to rebuild the once beautiful pearl of the Mediter-
ranean. struck me hard. That's when I finally understood what the Génie was all about. Kudos indeed!

To add a contribution, here is a video of the same Légio Nostra Patria ( 90 2ème REP troops ) jumping
on the Salvador pass where Niger meets Algeria and Libya! Enjoy!

Tay.
