"tested ashore at Lakehurst, N.J." Well if something was going to go wrong with the catapult, that's definitely the place for it to happen i guess. :03:

The one I am most interested in them building is CVN-80 (Enterprise). Of all the ships in Navy history, I'm sure that name has the longest and most distinguished history. Used on sailing Ships as far back as the war of 1812 to one of the 1st Aircraft Carriers in WWII (CV-6), all the way to the 1st Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier (CVN-65), even Goodyear Tires made a "Blimp" for the US Navy to use to guard the West Coast during WWII. In total, I believe the US Navy has had 6 vessels with that name at 1 point or another.
I'll not get into the many uses in Star Trek :03: |

I just hope they solve all the problems by the time they get CVN-80 (Enterprise) ready and I'll be happy.

They sure do have a lot of people walking around on the fight deck of the USS Ford (CVN 78) including girls:

Hmm, where are all the F-35s in that video? Even with all the Ford's hiccups it might be ready before it's F-35s are. :03:
