The displacement of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is 42,000 tons, which is significantly more than that of the Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi and Cavour.

"Turn around, son, what are you …". If these words of our Gogol are more applicable to anyone in the Japanese navy, please voice them in the comments.
