She is also 90,000 tons and has plenty of new defenses.

Status: offline 		Another advantage of the EMALS that they completely failed to mention was in relation to habitation. When I was on the Connie (CV-64) my bunkroom was right below the #3 cat line. While in the Indian Ocean, it was over 120 degrees during airops in the room and thus uninhabitable. The noise was unbelievable too.... so at least they have solved the temperature problem!

You sure about that? Ever hear of magnetic induction cooking?

I wouldn't want to be exposed to those EM fields. There is some evidence that exposure to high EM fields are linked to some kinds of cancers. Aluminum ore is smelted in electric furnaces and some studies have found people who work in those foundries around those furnaces (which use a tremendous amount of electricity), have higher rates of cancers like leukemia.

Yep. Ask those who worked close to high power radar antennas in the 1950s to 1980s if they still live, many of them died of cancer caused by the extreme EM fields.

ever been in a load center? They are hot as hell too when the power is on. I'm also curious how that EMP burst will look on Chinese sensors. Sorry to say, I'm not sold on this EMALS system.

Status: offline 		How about an AMC Gremlin? How about that thing that looks like a cube with all glass on the rear passenger side? What about the (Chrysler I think, or Dodge) that pretends to resemble a muscle car from the '50s? You know that thing that appears to be jacked up in back like a dragster and the roof slants down forward? We need to petition the Navy before it's too late. Oh, I forgot, throw in a Chevy Nova. How about any car that has that sorta coppery paintjob that really just looks like puke after you ate a whole bunch of bananas and candied apples?
