I don’t understand the logic in scrapping the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), and neither do the navy personnel who operate these carriers.
Just changing shit for no reason.

Trump's beef with EMALS / the ammo elevators on CVN-78 remains fuckin hilarious
His actual genuine sincerely political beliefs appear to be:
-Racism
-The kind of catapult system aircraft carriers should use
-Tariffs

“But her EMALS!”
This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Oh my god he is STILL complaining about EMALS
Trump: "Like on tractors that can handle anything from hurricanes to lightning to anything. They use magnets. It's a new theory -- magnets. They're gonna lift the planes up. And it doesn't work."

Plus my understanding is that EMALS is essential to launching smaller unmanned aircraft on a regular basis without smashing them to pieces, like a steam catapult would.

It's weird how he has a hyperfixation on steam catapults. Like, most of his obsessions revolve directly around money and power. EMALS is such a niche thing to get mad about.

He's still on about EMALS on the Ford class carriers?
EMALS is working. It had issues early on. New tech always does. And the older ships did not use hydraulics. They used steam catapults.
JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.
