EMALS dead weight sled test completed successfully and she is looking good folks! She is preparing to be delivered to the US Navy (not commissioned, just delivered for naval trials) in March 2016...folks, that's only seven months away.

Can't wait to see her plowing the waves. As it is, right now she is looking good.

Another new class and cutting edge technology vessel being prepared is the USS Zumwalt. As of mid-July she was 96% complete and is scheduled for dock trials in November, and initial sea trials in December of this year. That's four months away fro sea trials.

As it is, she too is looking very good. Can't wait for her to plow the waves.

When Reagan leaves for Japan ? a little surprising they are actually no CVN deployed in the Pacific, only CVN deployed the Roosevelt with 5th Fleet.

Reagan take after CVW-5 that of Washington equiped with 5 Super Hornet/Growlers Sqns since about 4 years yet, only other get it very recent CVW-9 on Stennis.

Now almost all other have 3 Super Hornet Sqns except about 2 on 9 CAW.
