If Charles de Gaulle turns off AIS, how does North Korea find it?
Track not the ship itself but the planes that take off and land on it. Many sites will expose their paths, you'll see the planes circling in a pattern around "some void" - that's the ship.
Many sites? Can you show me any De Gaulle aircraft currently in-flight?

If de Gaulle is turning off AIS, it stands to reason that it's also turning off the transponders in the air wing.
