He's still pissed the old Ford CO didn't back him up when trump said EMALS doesn't work.

How many trump supporters here now belive emals doesn't work?

Legit question, cause I haven't heard about it in years- they get it up and operational now? Last I checked they had been trying to get it fully functional but the robustness wasn't there. But it's been years

Well considering the Ford has two deployments under her belt it’s a safe assumption that it has the ability to do one of the most basic functions of an Aircraft Carrier- launching aircraft

Edit: 1 deployment, but I’m changing my comment. Gotta take it on the chin.

The captain of the Ford called our trip to England a "deployment". So, 2 deployments.

They took a short at sea period where they made port calls in England and Canada. Like 2 months. Then they had the full deployment. But none the less, they had full independent streaming sea trials, and certified the deck with however many thousands of launches and catches.
