A major shake-up is underway inside the U.S. Navy as President Donald Trump pushes sweeping changes to warship construction and technology. A new national security memorandum reportedly allows limited overseas shipbuilding and directs the future Doris Miller aircraft carrier to replace EMALS with traditional steam catapults. Trump has criticized EMALS as costly, complex and unreliable, despite thousands of successful launches aboard the Ford-class. The shift could create major redesign, integration, cost and schedule risks, with General Atomics warning that much of the carrier’s production is already underway. The administration is also seeking foreign shipyard capacity to expand America’s fleet faster.
