wow this was rich, clipping out from a response to somebody else, in order to bring in a nonexistent vessel
Intrepid, c'mon now you have as a long time partaker in this thread have to know that CVN-78 has made ..... All in 2018. So far the PLAN CV with electromagnetic cats has not been put to sea. I don't like the boondoggle that CVN-78 seems to be but I say give her a chance. I think all the wrinkles will be ironed out....in due time.

“We as a Navy and as a Department of Defense have a lot to be held accountable for with respect to the Ford," Modly said. “Certain decisions that were made to put in all those new technologies at once on a new platform and I think we’re accepting responsibility for it.”
makes me wonder what exactly "accepting responsibility" means (I'm guessing it means surviving until a promotion for outstanding achievements in game-changing program)

To me this goes back to Sec of Defence David Rumsfeld and the different Sec of Navy for accepting these "technological advances" before they were properly tested. Jura has made statements about this subject many times.
