Charles de Gaulle is the only nuclear-powered carrier completed outside of the United States Navy. It started military operations against Islamic State in Iraq on February 23, 2015. Don’t worry though — the bright glow is a result of the long exposure, and nothing to do with its nuclear power source. [Ministère de la Défense]
