Exercise Chesapeake 2018: Integrating a French Navy Air Wing with the US Navy

FighterSweep Staff No Comments French Air Force, Military Aviation, Navy, News, Photos, Video

Exercise Chesapeake 2018 is the first-ever training to fully integrate a French Navy air wing into a single, unified carrier air wing, Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8).

This historic first in naval aviation is another demonstration of the Navy’s implementation of the National Defense Strategy and its direction to strengthen alliances and deepen collaboration to become a more lethal force.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson met with his counterpart, Chief of Staff of the French Navy Adm. Christophe Prazuck, aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) May 14 to observe the high-end combined training currently underway between the U.S and French navies. – US Navy
