Trump is micromanaging the operational procedures of the US Navy, the vaccination schedule, the construction of the ballroom, the renovation of the reflecting pool, Kennedy Center signage, the tactics used in the Iran "war" (or today is it a "skirmish" or what?), and a bunch of other crap that occupies his feeble mind.
We can expect them to all just keep going great, right?
Why would the President stick his nose into aircraft carrier design? It makes no sense at all.

Let's just hope the Pentagon drags its feet on this for 2-1/2 years or so.

BS. It is going to cost billions to switch out the EMALS for steam. and switching it out will cause a major delay.
They are either ignorant or hiding the actual reasons

I am fairly certain there is one poster on here that definitely knows nothing about the topic…that would be you.
The message from Vought and Collins…would you like to weigh in on either side of the argument they are making?
"The new mandate (return to the steam catapult) would likely cost billions of dollars and revert the Navy’s most advanced ships to a system that takes more sailors to operate and is more difficult to maintain.
The move comes after years of Trump railing against the new, magnetically powered catapult system that shoots fighter jets off the deck of the carriers. It also comes at a time when the U.S. military is trying to find funding from Congress for all its desired equipment and as the Navy is struggling to fill its ships with enough sailors.
While Trump is looking to roll back the latest technology, the newest Chinese aircraft carriers employ electromagnetic catapults and France said it plans to use the system on its new carrier.
General Atomics, the company that makes EMALS, told The Associated Press in an email that the decision not to proceed with the system on the USS Doris Miller 'warrants careful reconsideration.'
General Atomics said the work on the Doris Miller's catapults and arresting gear was already halfway complete and said 'changing course now would introduce significant cost, schedule, and integration risks.'
Some of the key advantages to the electromagnetic system are its ability to launch aircraft at faster speeds while being easier to maintain, requiring fewer sailors to operate and using less space aboard the ship.
Reverting to a system that requires more people to operate it comes as the Navy has struggled to translate its recruiting successes in the past year to actually filling jobs on warships. At the start of the year, the Navy had about 20,000 unfilled posts across the fleet."
Sure, let's revert to mid-20th Century technology. Maybe we should reintroduce steam locomotives while we're at it.
He's an idiot.

Exactly. But morons, like spartan, can't see past their blind loyalty to trump.
Mr bone spurs dodged the draft and has no clue what he is talking about but MAGAts think he is the expert
