I find it interesting that French forces would be active in concert with US/UK forces, given the traditional differing approaches to diplomacy between the various countries. Having French fighters on a US carrier would be rather interesting from a spare-part/operational point of view, starting with "do the bloody things fit the catapult?". To me, the only relevant item is "where are the landing ships". Everything else can be done remotely, preserving freedom of maneuver and surprise.
