That article is just a re-hash of the ongoing issues aboard CVN-78.
All the items mentioned in that article the USN already knows and has been "working" on it since the ship re-entered the shipyard.. New working elevators have been delivered. As for the 20 failures during launch. Jeez...not good. I've seen aborted launches when I served but not because of catapult failure. Always because of some issue with the aircraft.
