Centaur-class aircraft carrier

In this role, the ship saw considerable action in the Falklands War, acting as the flagship of the aircraft carrier task force.

This was produced in the UK between 1959 and 1965, carrying the names of Albion, Bulwark and Centaur, and again in a more detailed Hornby Minic Ships version of Bulwark made in Hong Kong between 1975 and 1980.

Félix Faure

George Clemenceau's epitaph of Faure, in the same trend, was "Il voulait être César, il ne fut que Pompée" (another wordplay in French; could mean both "he wished to be Caesar, but ended up as Pompey", or "he wished to be Caesar and ended up being blown": the verb "pomper" in French is also slang for performing oral sex on a man); Clemenceau, who was also editor of the newspaper L'Aurore, wrote that "upon entering the void, he Faure must have felt at home".

In 1999, then Defence Minister George Fernandes revived the project and sanctioned the construction of the Project 71 ADS.

The gearboxes for the carriers were designed and supplied by Elecon Engineering.
