Has anyone mentioned this: in 1964, after the French set up their Murora Atoll
nuclear test site and set off the first bomb there, a U-2 was loaded onto
USS Ranger(CV-61) and the ship sailed to within range of the island. The
U-2 took off from the carrier, made an overflight of the island,taking pictures
of the installation before returning to the ship and making a trap. Source
