The Avenir was their first car ferry and the last\r\n vessel ordered by the company.\r\n Commissioned on 4 November 1965, the Avenir was launched on 21 June 1966 and delivered to the\r\n \"Mixte\" on 25 March 1967 (IMO- International Maritime Organisation-6614815).\r\n An excerpt from the official launch in 1967: \"Designed today for the tourism of tomorrow, the Avenir is\r\n a true luxury ferry with the highest level of comfort. But she is also a car ferry: the modern traveller,\r\n who is no longer to be found without his car, drives straight in\".\r\n The ship was fully airconditioned and could accommodate 918 passengers (376 in passenger class,\r\n 364 in seats and 178 in dormitories). It had space for 130 vehicles to enter the ship through a 2.60 m\r\n high tailgate or through six side doors (110 vehicles in the \"garage\" and 20 vehicles in the hold). Cabin\r\n Class passengers had access to a 200 seat dining room, two lounges, one with a dance floor, a Lido\r\n Bar with swimming pool, a shop and a TV screen. Passengers in Economy Class benefited from a bar\r\n and a brasserie with a TV screen.\r\n Avenir's inaugural voyage to the Balearics and Tunis took place from 14 to 17 April. On 18 April she\r\n made her first commercial voyage from Marseille to Tunis. On 1 July 1969, the Avenir was transferred\r\n to the Compagnie Générale TransMéditerranéenne (CGTM) as part of the merger of the Compagnie\r\n de Navigation Mixte and the Mediterranean services of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. The\r\n Avenir, which operated between France, Algeria and Tunisia, arrived in Marseille for the last time in\r\n October 1975, where she was decommissioned and put up for sale. The ship was sold in January 1976\r\n to the Italian company Trans Tirreno Express, which operated it under the name ESPRESSO CORINTO\r\n between Italy and Greece. The home port at that time was Cagliari.\r\n The ship was decommissioned in 1981 due to TTE's financial difficulties and lay derelict for almost\r\n three years before being bought by the Panamanian company Marinvest Founds in 1984. Renamed\r\n SHAHRAZAD, it served to transport Muslim pilgrims to the Red Sea.

The landings were made on the 165 m sloping runway equipped with 4 stopping strands. The 2 steam catapults of 50 m allowed the take-off of 15\/20 ton aircraft at 110 knots. The 2 lifts could lift a 15-tonne aircraft to 8.50 m in 9 seconds. Between 1980 and 1981, it underwent an IPER (Periodic Unavailability for Maintenance and Repair) which equipped it with a naval operating system for tactical information, an inertial power plant for adjusting the aircraft platform before catapulting, missile bunkers for AM-39 Exocet missiles and tactical nuclear weapons.

In this context, the French government decided to launch the construction of the Porte- Hélicoptères-75, a 16,400-ton helicopter carrier equipped with nuclear boilers, a project that was eventually abandoned. In 1982, the French Navy High Council requested that the studies carried out for the nuclear propulsion of the PH-75 project (which in the meantime had become Aircraft Carrier-75 and then PA-83) be used to define a new generation of aircraft carriers capable of replacing the Clemenceau and Foch before the end of the century. Nuclear propulsion gives the vessel the possibility of remaining at sea longer without the need to refuel. More than 10,000 plans were drawn up by the engineers of the Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN), and on 4 February 1986, the construction of the ship christened Charles de Gaulle was authorised. It was launched on 7 May 1994 and commissioned on 18 May 2001. A true technical feat, this aircraft carrier has a system of 12 mobile masses of 22 t which compensates for rolling movements and enables the ship to use its aircraft on board by sea at force 5 or 6. The Charles de Gaulle‘s shapes are „stealthy“ to reduce its radar signature to make it less easily identifiable. In 2020, France is the only country, apart from the United States, to have completed the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55424971637115,"sku":"57072","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5631\/0651\/files\/dHJBd2FhTE1XbGhTZnVjWU9kRDVBZz09.jpg?v=1778016502"},{"product_id":"starter-kit-u-boot-s-m-redoutable","title":"STARTER KIT U-Boot S\/M Redoutable 1\/400","description":"Included Cement · Brush · Main paints\r\n\r\nThe REDOUTABLE (S 611), the first French nuclear submarine, launched in March 1967, commissioned in 1971, decommissioned in 1991, is now the largest publicly exhibited museum submarine in the world.

It was built in Rochefort in 1756 according to the plans of Clairin-Deslaupiers. Listed among the 74-gun vessels, it has the particularity of having a copper-lined hull. This practice of lining became widespread much later, from 1770 onwards. It allowed the hull, and in particular the hull itself, not to be attacked by worms and other parasites. The GLORIEUX is equipped with 74 guns distributed as follows: 28 guns of 36 pounds on the deck of the 1st battery, 30 guns of 18 pounds on the deck of the 2nd battery and 16 guns of 8 pounds on the forecastle. Like all 74-gun vessels, the GLORIEUX did not have a mantelet on the second battery. Like all ships built at the beginning of the 18th century, the GLORIEUX had a castle topped with a rounded top. In 1779, she was one of the ships that made up the Comte d‘Estaing‘s Wing, also known as the Wing of America. It was part of the Blue Squadron, whose flagship was the Admiral‘s ship „La COURONNE“.","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55425030553979,"sku":"80889","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5631\/0651\/files\/Z3Z4azN1VHIxd1RLd3FQdnZSK0NlZz09_ab7d890e-9c11-451b-a713-96403db634c8.jpg?v=1747299516"},{"product_id":"royal-louis","title":"Royal Louis 1\/200","description":"It is thanks to the helpfulness of the SERVICE HISTORIQUE DE LA MARINE in PARIS, who opened their archives to the technicians of the HELLER company, that the reconstruction of the ROYAL LOUIS was possible. The design of the hull, the distribution of the artillery and the rigging were taken from a draft by Count von Estaing dated 25 September 1772. The construction plans were drawn up by Mr J.B. OLIVIER, famous for his naval architecture. The Royal Louis was a first class tall ship. She was equipped with 120 cannons, 32 pcs. of them of calibre 36, each weighing almost 5 tons. She was one of the largest warships of her time. She was named after the French king Louis XVI. Her length at the waterline was 68 m, the total length 96 m and the height of the main mast from keel to platform was 74 m. In the years 1779-1780 the Royal Louis was a main ship of the Blue and White Squadron, which belonged to the Squadron of America called, Count von Estaing. This ship was exceptional for its forms and above all for the richness, finesse and elegance of its stern, whose balconies were true masterpieces. She was shipwrecked near Brest in 1794 and sank.","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55425031078267,"sku":"80892","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5631\/0651\/files\/OTBnMC9FVms1dk5hbEhkNm5pRk91Zz09_c580dfe6-1c76-4cd3-8e68-36d466b261d5.jpg?v=1747299522"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5631\/0651\/collections\/80899_titel.jpg?v=1747726172","url":"https:\/\/heller.fr\/en\/collections\/schifffahrt.oembed?page=6","provider":"Heller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
