Political preferences clash with warship building realities as Trump pushes costly Ford class carrier revamp: experts_我的网站

Photo: VCGUS President Donald Trump's reported push to reshape the US Navy's next-generation aircraft carriers - from moving the island to abandoning electromagnetic catapults in favor of steam-powered systems - could impose heavy engineering, financial and schedule costs, Chinese military affairs experts said, warning of a widening gap between political preferences and the realities of building some of the world's most complex warships.
The Washington Post reported on Saturday that the US Navy is considering a major redesign of its new Ford-class aircraft carriers to better match Trump's preferred aesthetic, with the president favoring ships that more closely resemble US carriers from the World War II era. One option under study would move the carrier's island farther forward, toward the middle of the ship.
US officials cited by the report warned that such a change could require billions of dollars in redesign costs and cause substantial delays. 
The potential island redesign comes only days after Trump ordered another far-reaching change to the Ford-class program. On Thursday, he signed a national security memorandum directing the Pentagon and Navy to develop a plan within 60 days to replace the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) with steam catapults and the Ford-class carriers' Advanced Weapons Elevators with hydraulic systems, beginning with the future USS Doris Miller, or CVN-81, USNI News reported. 
Trump has repeatedly criticized EMALS as "too complex" and "not as effective as steam catapults," according to Reuters. 
But the order would reverse a technology path the US Navy has pursued for more than a decade. When the Navy selected EMALS in 2009, it said the system would lower overall lifecycle costs, require less maintenance than steam catapults and place less physical stress on carrier-based aircraft, per Reuters.
As of March 2026, the USS Gerald R. Ford had conducted 36,863 EMALS launches, according to Pentagon documents cited by Reuters. 
General Atomics, the manufacturer of EMALS, has warned against changing course on the Doris Miller, saying nearly 50 percent of production related to the system has already been completed and that a switch now would create significant cost, schedule and integration risks, according to Reuters. 
Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Sunday that the Ford-class carrier's aft-positioned island is not merely an aesthetic choice, but is closely tied to flight-deck efficiency and landing safety. "Moving the island farther aft creates more space around the catapults for aircraft parking and handling, helping shorten launch preparation time, while also reducing airflow disturbance during aircraft recovery," he said. 
Relocating the island forward would not be a simple cosmetic adjustment, but a major redesign affecting weight distribution, buoyancy, flight-deck layout and aerodynamics, with significant implications for both cost and schedule, Zhang noted.
Song Zhongping, another Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times that Trump's demand is one thing, but turning it into an actual warship design is another.
"The first four Ford-class carriers have either entered service or are already in different stages of construction, leaving very little room for fundamental changes to their overall designs," Song said. Even the fifth and sixth ships - the future USS William J. Clinton, CVN-82, and USS George W. Bush, CVN-83 - would face considerable cost and engineering consequences if the Navy attempts to overturn their established technological architecture, he said.
The US Navy officially announced the names of CVN-82 and CVN-83 in January 2025, per the US Navy official website. 
"There is an obvious gap between US President's political will and the engineering realities of aircraft-carrier construction," Song said.
Such proposed changes come as Ford-class construction timelines have already grown considerably compared with those of the preceding Nimitz class. The US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said in April that Nimitz-class carriers typically took seven to eight years to build, while Ford-class ships are currently taking roughly 10 to 11 years. In a separate assessment released this month, the CBO estimated that future Ford-class carriers under the Navy's 2027 shipbuilding plan could cost about $22 billion apiece. 
"Electromagnetic launch represents an advanced direction in aircraft-carrier catapult technology and has far greater development potential than traditional steam catapults," Song said. "If the US gives up electromagnetic catapults and returns to steam catapults, that would be a technological regression and a step backward."
Echoing Song, Zhang said electromagnetic catapults offer more precise control of launch energy and broader compatibility with different types of carrier-based aircraft, while requiring less shipboard space than steam systems with their extensive high-pressure piping.
"Replacing EMALS with steam catapults on a Ford-class carrier already designed around electromagnetic launch would not only represent a technological step backward, but could also turn an attempt to reduce risk into a new source of engineering and system-integration risk," Zhang said.
。    一觉醒来天塌了，发现自己错过了一个亿！就在1月16号，在大家一个常用支付软件，支付宝上，竟然开始“凭空下红包”。网友们在14:40——14：45分，这期间，转账发现，出现了立减，而且还是20%的大幅度。当时，是分为两拨人，一拨人当然是抱着“羊毛不薅白不薅”的心思，开始反复操作。

二 | 结果，你就看到一个画面，那就是做梦都不敢想的“钱生钱”。一个网友，利用20万的本金，开始轮番操作，短短五分钟就赚了5万多，属实让人羡慕。不过能看到，因为钱来的太容易，导致这个网友越来越不相信是真的。一次钱赚的比一次少，最后干脆只卖了一包华子，以12块钱终结。就这还在担心着一会儿会不会又被收回。还有一个网友，是刚好在这段时间内给供应商打款，因为数额巨大，有200万，结果硬生生是返了40万，只能说这个年终奖得来全不费功夫。

三 | 而还有一个姐妹俩，也是第一时间发现，转了4分钟后，成功赚了4万7，抵上几个月工资了，看来晚上睡觉做梦都能笑醒。还有的网友，还在想着感谢补贴，完全没有意识到是怎么一回事。赚了个800多就收手了。

四 | 不过，这种天上掉馅饼的事情，之前大家是真没遇见过，所以有的人还把这当中一种新诈骗方式，迟迟不敢动手。甚至，还在想着，那些因此赚了好多钱的人，后面大概率是受骗了，或者还要还回去，毕竟“天上不会掉馅饼”，还是和钱有关的。而当很多人收到了，那条关于支付宝是遇到bug，表示会直接在支付账户里回扣的短信，更是大惊失色，看来致富的梦成了泡沫。但是，事情后面便来了急速反转，知道真相后的，那些没抢到钱的网友，那眼泪是“哗哗”的流。因为，毕竟发生了这么大的事情，支付宝也不可能让事情就这么不了了之。

五 | 更怕因为自己犯下的错误，让那些不法分子钻了漏洞，从而让用户轻信他们，损失钱财。所以，也是在第一时间出来回应了此次事件。视频加载中...首先澄清了之前大家手机里面收到的扣回短信，是不属实的，因为他们公司根本没有就此事发过任何的短信。其次，就这次的支付宝优惠事故，也是做出了解释。表示，确实是他们公司犯了错误。在设置营销模板的时候，误把信息写错，才出现了这种特殊的补贴模式。

六 | 但是，他们也是那种“知错认错”的公司，表示既然是他们犯了错，一切后果他们自行承担。而针对大家赚的钱，也就是他们因为此事赔的钱，他们也不会再向用户追回。也就是说，用户们，在这急速5分钟里，所有靠着bug盈利的钱，都可以当成个人所得。虽然，对于这一消息，那些薅到羊毛的用户高兴不已。但是，也有一部分完全不知道，没有赶上趟的网友，那真是心如刀割，感觉自己错过了一个亿。痛恨自己当时，明明也抱着手机，为什么没有赚到这个钱，不知道去转个账，买个东西。甚至表示，不接受不追回，必须追回，然后追回后，重新开始，大家公平竞争。还有的网友，甚至因为这件事情，来怀疑自己的幸运值，表示为什么每次好事发生的时候自己不知道，都是到结束了才知道，可是已经无济于事了。要知道，等待这个平台犯错误的几率，可以说要比中彩票的几率还要低的低。而这次因为这么大的事情，或将损失几十亿，想必那个操作失误的员工，也快要吓晕了，如果公司让他赔偿，想必配上身家性命也是赔不起的吧。极大地可能性，是涉事员工的被辞退，来平息这场失误吧。不过，也正是因为发生了这么重大的失误，想必支付宝也已经更加严格规范，不能再让这种失误发不过，说真的，这种事情那些没有赚到的网友，真不如还不知道为好。

七 | 现在想必大家都在回想，懊悔，当时那五分钟到底在干什么，为什么会错过。

八 | 不过，也劝大家，还是别异想天开了，该上班上班，该赚钱赚钱。

九 | 因为经常使用支付平台的，这次赚钱赚的多的，也无疑都是有钱人。否则恐怕连消费和“钱生钱”的本金都没有，就太扎心了。对于，这次支付宝“送钱”的事情，大家有什么想说的？欢迎在评论区留言讨论……参考信息源：[1].官方媒体封面新闻《感觉错过了一个亿!5分钟内支付宝全部订单打八折，凌晨回应:是失误，不会向用户追款》2025.01.17但为提升文章可读性，细节可能存在润色，请理智阅读，仅供参考!【免责声明】文章描述过程、图片都来源于网络，此文章旨在倡导社会正能量，无低俗等不良引导。如涉及版权或者人物侵权问题，请及时联系我们，我们将第一时间删除内容！如有事件存疑部分，联系后即刻删除或作出更改。
