| The Navy's new, urinal-free supercarrier is facing a ton of problems | |

The Department of Defense's fiscal year 2019 budget includes a hefty chunk of cash for a fourth Ford-class aircraft carrier, but the Navy may have to wait a little bit longer to see its dreams of an 11-carrier fleet truly realized. Among the slew of vessels included in the Navy portion of President Donald Trump's planned boost to the US armed forces budget are three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, two Virginia-class submarines, and the "first year of full funding" for the now-unnamed CVN 81 aircraft carrier, a younger sibling to the brand-new $13 billion USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), which the Navy (and Trump) commissioned last July. But as it turns out, the Pentagon's latest technical assessment of the next-generation (and urinal-less) supercarrier reveals a warship currently incapable of performing basic functions during routine operations; the service on Feb. 7 reportedly appealed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis to delay critical shock testing of the new carriers until the second Ford-class hull, USS John F. Kennedy, comes available in 2024 — the same stress-testing for which lawmakers let the Navy off the hook in June 2017. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-navys-new-urinal-free-supercarrier-is-facing-a-ton-of-problems-2018-2 |

The Ford Class was just delivered and is still undergoing Shakedown... From delivery to deployment can take over a year. Pretty much a non story... She'll be projecting 90 planes to our Enemies doorsteps in short order... By the time the USS-John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) and USS Enterprise are delivered many of the problems will have been worked out during the build process. |

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

Remember when Trump said he wanted to go back to steam catapults? Remember how the experts said he was crazy and did not know what he was talking about? If they ever figure out the electromagnetic cats they will be incredible but boy oh boy is it expensive getting there. |
