Trump orders redesign of aircraft carrier for steam catapults
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that he has ordered the redesign of a new aircraft carrier to replace the traditional steam catapult system with electromagnetic launch systems, in an effort to improve technology and reduce costs. Over the past years, Trump repeatedly demanded this change, considering the complex and expensive digital system inefficient. He indicated that the redesign would help build a more efficient aircraft carrier. The upgrade plan faces resistance from senior Navy officials and manufacturers due to risks of increased costs and schedule delays, especially since only 50% of the work on the new ship has been completed. This decision comes amid the deteriorating mental health of the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln, who are experiencing longer-than-usual deployments at sea.
