According to a report on the US “Newsweek” website on August 15, US President Trump pushed for the transformation of the Navy's newest aircraft carriers. This move triggered warnings from defense analysts, contractors, and former officials. They believe the proposed changes could increase costs, delay construction progress, and reverse design decisions implemented by the Navy over the years. Earlier, Trump signed a national security memorandum on the 13th, instructing the Pentagon and Navy to develop a plan within 60 days to replace the electromagnetic ejection system and advanced weapon lift on the “Ford” class aircraft carrier “Doris Miller,” which is about to be launched. These concerns have arisen as a result. The “Ford” class is the latest generation aircraft carrier of the US Navy. According to plans, it will replace the old “Nimitz” class aircraft carriers in the next few decades.
