Colossus Commemorative Flag
In 1946, Colossus was loaned to France and renamed Arromanches. Five years later, the ship was finally transferred to the French Navy under this name. The carrier got her new name from the commune of Arromanches-les-Bains in the Lower Normandy region of France.
 
 Key Features
Key Features

The aircraft carrier is armed with three types of squadrons - attack aircraft with AP rockets, torpedo bombers, and bombers that drop HE bombs in level flight.

Attack aircraft rockets have good armor penetration, which will allow them to deal good damage to various types of targets. The torpedo bombers have a good health pool, but low speed. Also, the torpedo bomber squadron contains only 2 attacking flights of three aircraft. The bombers carry a large number of high-explosive bombs but have a large spread ellipse.

At the same time, the aircraft carrier itself has a low speed, which will make it difficult to quickly change position. She also has no secondary armament and weak air defense.
