Kaput II.

This is coolbert:

EMALS bad! EMALS gone?

From the Internet web site "Politics That Matter" and the article by rbrooks.

"U.S. Navy to award contract for new electromagnetic aircraft catapult"

SOUNDS BAD! VERY BAD!

"General Atomics, a defense contractor that manufactures electromagnetic aircraft launch and recovery systems, will receive a contract for the procurement of supplies and services in support of new digital catapult systems of the Ford Class of Carriers."

Advanced electromagnetic aircraft carrier launch system not working to standard. Catapult kaput?  Bright shiny and new to be replaced by yet another bright, shiny and new?

See previous blog entries as relevant problems U.S. Navy hardly confined to EMALS::
