  • "President Trump's criticism echoes that of a highly critical 2018 report from the Pentagon, that emphasized that reliability of EMALS leaves much to be desired, and that the average time between critical failures is nine times higher than the Navy's threshold requirements" (Wiki)

  • Thank you. I think we already know that from public information. What I haven’t seen is anything aligning with or contravening the /policy change/

    By the way, that is a totally lame and disappointing justification to close. There is absolutely nothing constructive in the statement, since it only references the help center which supports this kind of question, namely: what is the effective policy in a strange situation such as this one?

    @Doug I agree that it's not a very helpful close reason. However, as written this isn't a great question, either. Some suggestions: Link to and quote Trump's announcement and explain why you think there would be a steam retrofit (is that what was in use before? Is there some inherent advantage? etc).

    Disagree. It is a question about application of policy in the context of Trump communication style
