Trump orders Navy to abandon carrier launch system, return to steam catapults

President Trump has ordered the US Navy to abandon electromagnetic catapult systems on aircraft carriers and return to using steam catapults. This directive includes installing steam systems on the upcoming USS Doris Miller, the fourth Gerald Ford-class carrier. Despite opposition from naval officers and warnings from experts regarding increased costs, the order stands. Additionally, the president called for the establishment of a fifth public shipyard and a new component repair center to reduce submarine repair delays.
