President Donald Trump said he was against the use of electromagnetic systems to launch aircraft off American warships.
President Donald Trump has announced plans to overhaul what he has described as the “wrong” design of U.S. aircraft carriers.
“We’re spending all that money on electric and nobody knows what it’s going to be like in bad conditions," he told sailors and Marines on the USS Wasp, as reported by Bloomberg. Trump has been a vocal critic of Ford’s system and told the personnel the technical innovation that came with EMALS was offset by its huge costs.“And I won’t tell you this because it’s before my time by a little bit, but they have a $900 million cost overrun on this crazy electric catapult.In January this year, Senator Tim Kaine confirmed the U.S. Navy had informed lawmakers it intended to purchase two Ford-class aircraft carriers.
The Trump administration has looked to expand the size of the fleet over the last three years. In 2016, the Navy said it had upgraded its force structure goal to 355 ships, from a previous target of 308. His stance was not echoed by Abe, who stated that the tests were a matter of “great regret” and had violated U.N. Security Council resolutions.
