Thankfully, the French sailors were not involved in combat, they ran on the deck to show their fitness records, exposing the carrier's position.
Too relaxed French people exposed the carrier's position.
After the escalation of the Middle East situation, the French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean, ostensibly to protect allies' security, but it was just for show, as the carrier stopped near Cyprus and never went to the war zone.
Because of this, the crew on the carrier had nothing to do all day, unlike the crew of the U.S. aircraft carrier "Ford," who were always putting out fires and queuing up to go to the bathroom.
Because of boredom, a French soldier started running around the carrier's deck, running for 35 minutes straight, during which he kept his fitness app open.
Anyone who has used a fitness app knows that during exercise, the device's location is automatically uploaded to the cloud and recorded on the personal page.
The location of this crew member clearly indicated the "Charles de Gaulle," and thus the carrier's position was also exposed. Fortunately, this carrier was not involved in any combat mission; if its position had been exposed during wartime, it would have been a death sentence.
It's not just him who is relaxed. On another French crew member's account, the address of another French military ship was recorded, along with photos of various parts of the ship, including the deck and gym.
In fact, this is not the first time France has made a fool of itself because of a fitness app. Even the bodyguards of Macron have used the same app and had experiences of exposing confidential information.
Luckily, the French people are relatively relaxed, and they might only throw an egg or slap the president, without threatening Macron's physical safety. Unlike the United States, where people often attempt to assassinate Trump.
Since there have been multiple cases before, yet people still run openly with fitness apps on the carrier now, it shows that the French themselves don't take it seriously. After all, they weren't going to war in the first place, just making a show.
