How to read this map
A reference map of French maritime power. Hover any marker for a summary; click for the full record. Every figure is sourced in the footer.
Marker shapes
Circle — naval & air sitesDiamond — yards & portsSquare — shipping operatorsRing — maritime chokepoints
Ten layers, toggled in the sidebar
Naval homeports — 136 warships, sized by tonnage rather than hull count
Air stations, shipyards, commercial shipping and export programmes
Exclusive economic zone — real legal boundaries, disputed zones marked separately
Forward bases, subsea cables, the recapitalisation pipeline and chokepoints
Two things worth knowing
Homeports scale by displacement, not hull count — a hull-count scale ranks a training yawl alongside an aircraft carrier. Toggle it in the sidebar to see the difference.
The fleet is frozen at 1 April 2025; the pipeline layer is current to mid-2026, so a ship can read “in trials” in one and “delivered” in the other.
