The French helicopter carrier “Joan of Arc” was originally named “Resolution”, and was later named after the heroine in French history-Joan of Arc. The ship started construction on July 7, 1960, was launched on September 30, 1961, and entered service on June 30, 1964.
The Jeanne d’Arc has a wide range of uses. It is used as a training ship in peacetime and can be used as an amphibious assault ship, helicopter carrier or troop transport ship with a little modification in wartime. When used as a troop transport ship, it can carry a 700-man landing battalion and its equipment.
The ship is 182 meters long, 24 meters wide, and has a draft of 7.3 meters. The power unit uses two gear turbines with two shafts and 40,000 horsepower. The maximum speed is 26.5 knots. At a speed of 15 knots, the endurance is about 10,000 kilometers. There is only one helicopter platform on the ship, which can carry 8 helicopters; the armament system installed later on the ship is equipped with 4 100mm anti-aircraft guns and 6 “Flying Fish” MM38 ship-to-ship missile launchers. The aircraft carrier “Joan of Arc” was modernized in 2000 and the 100mm anti-aircraft gun at the stern was removed.
