Navy Tackling Ford-Class Weapons Elevator Challenges; Decision on 2-Carrier Buy Still Pending
:
"The decision now rests at the Office of the Secretary of Defense level, and Geurts declined to speculate on how OSD felt about the proposal when talking to reporters after the hearing. He said the Navy’s job was to present its best options to the Pentagon and then execute whatever they decide on. Geurts said during the hearing that he expects a decision by the end of the calendar year, and that punting the decision much farther down the road would start eroding some of the potential for saving money on parts and labor."

A simple electric/mechanical would have been fine. In my opinion there's no need for angled HI-Tech weapons elevators.. that don't work.

Flight OPS aboard USS Midway circa 1973-74. These photos are from the 1974 USS Midway cruise book. Someone in Germany has slapped his water mark all across these OFFICIAL USN photos. He's null and void as far as I'm concerned. ALL USN photos are for public use as long as they are not classified.

Decent enough carrier if you have the budget
But what kind of depressing interior has this Kutz got ?
Green, yellow and red interior ?
Those brown floor tiles are straight from the 1960s
