Thunder Boat: Inside the French Navy's amphibious helicopter carrier "Tonnerre"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKlsCvQuFPQ
Quote:
With the appearance of a "James Bond" ship, the Thunder Boat is the second largest ship of the French Marine Nationale, after the Charles de Gaulle. The structure is fitted with revolutionary equipment, with a range of high technologies, and is able to operate in a range of situations, as it did in Saint Barthélemy in Cyclone Irma of September 2017.
This ship of the future is a true "Swiss knife", acting simultaneously as an aircraft base, a commandment post and is equipped as a floating hospital, with the ability to shelter troops, helicopters and vehicles.
We discover it’s many capabilities for the first time through this documentary.

51 minutes long, I jumped around a bit because I was mostly interested in the amphibious landing craft, but stabilization features of the main ship which make it easier for helicopters to land is very interesting.
