Franța anunță că portavionul său construit în SUA nu va folosi sistemul învechit pe aburi pe care-l vrea Trump la portavioanele SUA
The U.S. decision to revert to steam catapults for aircraft carriers does not impact the French carrier France Libre, according to French defense officials. They confirmed no technical risks for the current electromagnetic catapults. President Trump ordered steam catapults for the USS Doris Miller, claiming EMALS is ineffective despite significant investment. U.S. Navy officials oppose this change due to high costs and complexity. General Atomics, the EMALS producer, warned that altering course now could introduce significant risks. Senator Mark Kelly criticized Trump's interference in naval design.
