EU top official wants Europe to develop its own aircraft carrier
Naval News October 2023
According to information published by Politico on October 10, 2023, the European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton has voiced the necessity of a fortified European defense mechanism. Breton is already championing the idea of a dedicated aircraft carrier.
For the European Union, possessing its own aircraft carrier would mean a step towards a unified defense front, potentially reducing reliance on NATO and asserting its stature as a global power.
However, several challenges lie ahead. With Brexit's aftermath, France is the only EU member with the capability to build a standard aircraft carrier. While Italy has experience with light aircraft carriers, crafting a full-fledged one is a distinct challenge.
The financial aspect is another hurdle; aircraft carriers come with a hefty price tag. Securing funds for such an endeavor would demand substantial commitment from EU member states, a task made complex given the diverse economic landscapes across Europe.
Operational questions also arise: the management and operation of this carrier would need clear delineation, be it under a unified EU naval command or shared responsibilities among nations.
While President Macron's vision of a "Europe of Defense" resonates with some recent defense acquisitions by countries like Germany and Poland suggest varied strategic priorities within the EU, potentially making consensus-building a challenge.
The ambition for a European aircraft carrier signifies a desire for a more autonomous and cohesive defense strategy. Yet, its realization hinges on more than just resources; it demands political will and strategic alignment among the member states.
