With the appearance of a “James Bond” ship, the Thunder Boat is the second largest ship of the Marine Nationale, after the Charles de Gaulle. The structure is fitted with revolutionary equipment, with a range of high technologies, and is able to operate in a range of situations, as it did in Saint Barthélemy in Cyclone Irma of September 2017.
This ship of the future is a true “Swiss knife”, acting simultaneously as an aircraft base, a commandment post and is equipped as a floating hospital, with the ability to shelter troops, helicopters and vehicles.
We discover it’s many capabilities for the first time through this documentary.
