Comment

The Charles de Gaulle (visual designator R91) is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the French Navy, of which she is the major vessel and centerpiece. She is the first and only nuclear-powered surface combatant built in Western Europe. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_(aircraft carrier)

The bachi or bâchi, in French maritime slang (or bonnet de marin - sometimes mistakenly called "sailor's beret" -), is the headgear worn by sailors and petty officers in the French Navy. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachi
