I guess we could conclude it is rather Podunk, although the USN used tractors in the past so?

With the delivery schedule slated as far as 2027, that'd be 15 years later before another USS Enterprise sails the high seas.
Hehehe...9.0 on the richter...but that was mainly me going out and shooting off my twelve guage out over open fields about 9 times! LOL!^^^ Now that is funny.. we may get an seismograph reading from Idaho! I know there was one here in Iowa
Here she is, my own PS to a couple of other pics:
...and another:
That last show the UCAS, the JSF, the F/a-18 F Surperhornets and the E-2D on her deck

Well, after the cancer and the three ops in 2010...I'm afraid back flips are out of the question...too much high grade titanium in the old back now.
But, we will still have to clear room in the den (or wherever) so I can build the 1/350 scale model of this baby just as soon as one comes out! Hehehe, LOL! Oh yea...you bet ya, you can count on it!

In the old days, when things were not so available, people used whatever they have. Chinese army used cows and human power to tow artillery as well. However, If you look carefully at the tractors on the US carrier, you might find that they are not normal tractors you would find on farms but they were specially designed ones for working on carrier until tugs were invented.
However, my point was that when you do things, you should do it professionally, especially when tugs are not that difficult to design or too expensive to purchase. If you think that this is trivial, never mind!
You don't need these huge wheel on smooth carrier deck.
