Dassault-Breguet Super etendards ranged on deck after flying
Aeronavale - Dassault-Breguet Super etendards ranged on deck after flying, aboard 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
This evocative photograph captures the moment after a group of Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard fighter-bombers have returned to their home at sea, aboard the French Navy's aircraft carrier Foch or Clemenceau. The year is 1986, and the two almost identical ships, to which the French Navy did not apply distinctive markings, making identification difficult. The Super Etendards, with their distinctive delta wings and tailfin, are arranged meticulously on the deck, their engines still warm from flight. The aircraft, a mainstay of the French Navy's aeronautical transportation fleet, were used for strike and reconnaissance missions during operational cruises. Their powerful engines and versatile capabilities made them a formidable asset in the navy's arsenal. The sight of these planes, ranged neatly on the deck, is a testament to the precision and discipline of the crew and the seamless coordination between the pilots and the ground team. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the French Navy's aviation wing during a critical period in maritime history.
