June 30th 2011, it's traditionnal for aircraft carrier long operational deployments : the crew meet on the deck in order to form the name of the current operation (HARMATTAN) with giant human letters. It's some kind of giant postcard sent to their family and those who are supporting them. It is also a way to mark their engagement in the French Aircraft carriers history.
The CdG has logged it's 220th day at sea in 9 months meaning that it has been sailing 80% of the time since october 2010
