INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to return to steam catapults on future Ford-class aircraft carriers, abandoning the newer electromagnetic launch system. The change starts with the fourth carrier, USS Doris Miller, while the first three Ford-class ships will keep their electromagnetic systems. Navy and industry leaders have resisted the idea for years because redesigning the ships is expected to cost billions. Source: WSJ
