He’s got a pool company that can do it?

Which one of his friends sells steam systems?

The issue between the two systems is isolation. In the old C-13 series if one track needed repair, you have to shut steam off to that track. The rest can keep going. In the EMALS there's just the one centralize power architecture, so if a track has to go down, it takes the whole thing down with it.

Few really want to return to steam. It requires a lot of the ship to house special high pressure equipment and requires more maintenance overall to keep it running. Additionally, a lot of the drones designed need the precise control that the EMALS provides to not break apart. But it's hard to point out all the various tooling that has to go on behind the scenes when one track goes down with steam, when the whole effing thing with EMALS has to go down and no launching happens for hours.

And that's ultimately what happens, the metrics that are being used are getting aircraft into the air, not overall downtime or cost to operate. And EMALS is still struggling to hit the numbers it has to hit and likely won't hit them till around 2030. Every time it goes down, every zero aircrafts it gets pulls that metric down hard.

The inevitable lunacy of your garden variety dictator. Dictate ALL the things, my whims are more important than reality.

This motherfucker has no clue how magnets work.

This idiot thinks he is an expert on everything. More people need to tell the baby NO.

The world will yield to US might when these are installed.

Trump is putting out Aladeen vibes...

I can only imagine the hard facepalming going on in the Navy right now.

How many more before this government collapses, as it should? It's truly an emperor-no-clothes situation.

Next: why do we even need the planes; we can directly catapult stones on the enemy! Wonder why nobody ever thought about it

Use the electromagnetic launcher just also add a tube that shoots out a stream of hot steam as it launches a plane so his dumb ass can brag about how he built a steam launcher.

Join me in some wild speculation about this aircraft carrier which is already behind schedule:

The ship, named for Messman Second Class Doris Miller, is the first aircraft carrier named for both an enlisted sailor and an African American.[9] The ship will be the second to honor Miller, who received the Navy Cross for his actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor; the first ship was USS Miller (FF-1091).[10] It is currently the only Gerald R. Ford-class carrier to be named after a person who was not a former president.

The president's changes will slow things down. Now why would he want to slow that aircraft carrier down?

“The future Trump-class battleship – the USS Defiant – will be the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans,” Phelan said...

“The U.S. Navy will lead the design, along with me, because I’m a very aesthetic person,” Trump said.

And even with this, the US Navy isn't going back in time anywhere as far or as fast as the US Department Of Health which has already reached the 18th century under a leadership that denies that vaccines work.

This is so obviously irrational that I'm surprised that his cabinet hasn't removed him for incompetence just for this. The man is a dotard.

Is this because of his obsession with magnets and water?

Can the military not just lie to him and tell them they've done it it's not like he's going to check. Even if he did he wouldn't know what he was looking at because his brain, not something to write home about the best of times, has now turn to cottage cheese.

He'll be directing the military to return to wooden ships and musket next.

I can only imagine he really cares about this because he's invested in the company that makes the steam-powered systems.

This moron is confounded by magnets and windmills. He is one of the dumbest (did you know there's a 'b' in dumb? Most people don't you know) people in American history.

So they're using electric motors and he wants steam engines?

“Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best – ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit.”

Russia sabotaging the US's military again. It's all hegseth does but trump is such a well trained stooge at this point that advancing russia's agenda is like second nature to him.

Because it’s electric?

Nevermind the electronic valves and electronic systems that control the steam, it just can’t be electric where it counts. This is the stupidest president ever.

What we'll probably hear from him next is that he prefers steam gauges over glass cockpits and that all aircraft, civilian or military, must be retrofitted with the former. And biplanes, the Pentagon must start buying and using them. Everybody knows (except for Communists) that two wings are better than one.

And they can use clean coal to generate the steam!

The steam revolution is here finally! What will he think of next? Steam trains?

I really hate how Americans are screwing the world via Trump but at least he is also screwing Americans. Not quite balance but at least Americans should be feeling some of the pain that they insist on inflicting on the rest of the world.

Have they finished turning the California water faucet 37 degrees towards Canada yet? Or reopening Alcatraz? How many of these crackhead ideas go anywhere?

EMALS has been around for over 15 years so naturally trump lost interest

Steam? Idk. Sounds pretty woke to me.
