An F/A-18F Super Hornet jet flies over the USS Gerald R. Ford as the Navy aircraft carrier tests its EMALS magnetic launching system, which replaces the steam catapult, in 2017
* A new assessment of the USS Gerald R. Ford was carried out by Pentagon testers
* The testers said the trouble was with the USS Ford's new, high-tech aircraft takeoff and landing systems
* The systems were said to have experienced failures more often than expected
* The unreliability of the systems could 'adversely affect' the USS Ford's ability to carry out military sorties according to testers
The most expensive aircraft carrier ever built - to the tune of $13.2billion - is still suffering from unreliable technology systems more than three years after it was delivered to the US Navy.
A new assessment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, carried out by Pentagon testers, indicates that the ship's issues 'remain consistent' with those experienced in previous years of testing.
The USS Ford's latest troubles stem from issues with its its aircraft takeoff and landing systems, according to the report.

Does emals make you lose sleep?
I do remember his criticism of the system. I'm waiting for the apologies as I type.
As with most things President Trump is right. If only they'd have listened to him and followed his prudent leadership. Alas they didn't.
Obviously holding a "rally" at this time was bad judgement. It only distracts from Trump's amazing accomplishments and aided his adversaries. Unfortunately we've been distracted by a few lawbreakers.
The election was likely stolen. This is indeed a huge deal. It's not hard to understand why there might be violent reactions. Nevertheless it isn't justified.
"Blowback" perhaps. The US government had trouble with a small number of dead ender law breakers. There's no confidence they could deal with an actual invasion from a real threat from a mid power such as Iran or North Korea let alone major powers like Russia or China.

You sure?
It is guaranteed that ANTIFA will infiltrate every rally in the future and instigate
violence.
Merely walking the same ANTIFA urges someone to walk is dangerous. The problem is that when you have a large group of people you get crowd psychology. Trump supporters stopped ANTIFA from breaking windows, But they did not stop them all.
Ashli Babbit if she had tired to stop the ANTIFA members from smashing glass inside the Capitol building would have been outnumbered by ANTIFA.
So going forward IMO any rally goers have to be warrior monks. You have to know what you are going to do ahead of time, so you are not swayed at the spur of the moment.
If ANTIFA cannot lead people into a building and so ANTIFA has not cover to smash, assault and vandalize, they will fall back on assaulting stragglers. You know like a black tea party guy in a wheelchair. Democrat thugs did do that.
In future rallies, cell phones cannot be used haphazardly. They need to record every infiltrating ANTIFA member and record what they do. Planned and autonomous security needs to be had in order to protect every member of the rally
bus or other vehicle drop off points, a mile to 3 from any rally needs to be documented and ANTIFA surveiled. Of course surveiling Democrat Party thugs sent to break up or discredit opposition rallies will be declared illegal by Brennan Wray and scum.
