This long picture night injection shows a Rafale M multirole fighter aircraft parking on the flight deck of Charles de Gaulle aircraft mail carrier , the flagship of the French Navy .
Charles de Gaulle is the only nuclear - powered carrier completed outside of the United States Navy . It started military performance against Islamic State in Iraq on the February 23rd 2015 . Do n’t worry though — the bright glow is a result of the tenacious photo , and nothing to do with its nuclear index reference . [ Ministère de la Défense ]
