        That is the purpose of sea trials. Technology is continuing to be fast tracked and our military is pushing the boundaries of new technology.

        Most vessels go back to the yards for more work after the first sea trial. I would, however, like to know how much that ship truly cost without the government markup.

        Anyone able to answer why US aircraft carriers have flat tops v a Chinese aircraft carrier that has a ramp on one end?

        I would guess it might be the catapult system in US ships are perfected.

        Well thats not too bad. Trials are there , to even out teething issues. Its a complicated technology. Some oversight is bound to be present. The fact that it was detected before it was commissioned into service is an achievement in itself.

        Propulsion is always the first thing you want to go out on an aircraft carrier. Especially a brand new one. Particularly when it cost over $12B.

        $12.9 B? I think Chuck Schumer probably has more hidden under his mattress.
