Abstract:
Michel Cardon puts a humorous spin on an incident that
gained his company a work project with the French Navy.
What do John Paul Jones, the founder of the U.S. Navy,
and Georges Clemenceau, a French politician (1841 - 1929),
have in common?
Both of these famous names in history have been given
to ships. The Clemenceau was a French aircraft carrier and
the USS John Paul Jones was a U.S. Naval Destroyer.
Moreover, in the 1960’s, they were docked together at
Toulon, the French Navy base in Provence in the south of
France.
