第一次世界大战之后,法国海军最关心的是隔海相望的意大利海军的动向。他们认为,法国海军应具备同意大利可能拥有的巡洋舰、驱逐舰相抗衡的能力。在意大利海军没有增强海军航空兵意向的前提下,法国海军建造航母的必要性确实不大。故此,法国海军对航母并未表现出太大的兴趣。除1927年由未完工战舰改装的“贝阿伦”(Bearn)号航母下水外,就再没有建造新航母的计划了。 After the First World War, the French navy was most concerned about the movement of the Italian Navy across the sea. In their opinion, the French Navy should have the ability to compete with cruisers and destroyers that Italy may have. The need for the French Navy to build an aircraft carrier is indeed small given that the Italian Navy did not intend to enhance the naval aviation. Therefore, the French Navy did not show much interest in the aircraft carrier. With the exception of Bear, which was converted from an unfinished battleship in 1927, there was no plan to build a new aircraft carrier.
