It was recently announced that France will send an aircraft carrier to assist in launching more air strikes against ISIS targets in the Mideast. Using this AP dateline, guess which French carrier is involved and which news organization has a reporter on board:

ABOARD THE CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER (AP) – #France to send aircraft carrier to Mideast for operation vs Islamic State in #Iraq.

Subtle!

@APDiploWriter you are on Charlie?

@brianoflondon Unfortunately not. I am in dreary old Geneva today. A colleague is aboard the de Gaulle.

It could catch on outside the MSM:

Gonna see if AP will let me start filing poll stories from aircraft carriers https://t.co/vH80BiZ3Gz
