Clemenceau sails for scrap
On January 17, 2006, the Supreme Court of India observed: "We do not want the environment to be polluted. When the French Government had not permitted the ship to be broken there, why shouldwe allow the ship to come to India?Whether breaking the ship will result in pollution or not is immaterial. The best thing will be to ask the shipto go back from where it started."
The Clemenceau, the decommissioned French aircraft carrier, is finally headed for Graythorp, Teesside, near Hartlepool, U.K. India was its original destination, but with strong opposition, it was sent back.
