The Painlevé-class fleet carriers are a series of four aircraft carriers built by Chantiers Impériaux and Arsenal de Villaroche. With four carriers commissioned, only Gallois and Leclair are currently in service still. In 1978, the Quérangal was destroyed by two Tyrannian tactical nuclear strikes during the Sieuxerr-Tyrannian Conflict of 1978. The other carrier, Painlevé, was retired in 1989 just before the Bearn-class came into service. They are being replaced by the Bearn-class aircraft carriers and the Ferdinand Ferber-class aircraft carriers. In 2019 Gallois moved to port to begin her decommissioning process, which is expected to finish in 2021, however she is still listed as in active service.
