Like strategic sea lanes and snoke point. Which also Germany has to answer, militarily. As main European and global power she cannot sit back and only enjoy the economic wealth (for as long as it lasts).

It is just an example(!!) in this vision, besides to get some European standardisation and learn from the QE experiences, which look likes a good basic design. Also the French have not yet presented their successor for the CdG. When they do that will be the choice for Germany too.CdG is a CVN with cats and straps. There is no way to adapt the QE design like this. The consideration by the French was at the early stage of the design of the QE's.
