The Charles de Gaulle is equipped with nuclear propulsion and can travel 1,200 kilometers in 24 hours at a maximum speed of 27 knots. Its food and fuel capacity gives it 45 days of total autonomy in operation. Its air group can carry out 100 flights per day for 7 days, i.e. more than 700 flights in total autonomy. This entails the obligation to refuel at sea during long missions lasting several months, which its nuclear propulsion months, which its nuclear propulsion allows it to do.
A refuelling tanker providing an additional 30 days of total autonomy is permanently assigned to the GAN TF473 to refuel the Charles de Gaulle and the other ships of the group. During high-intensity warfare missions, a second tanker is assigned as reinforcement.
