HII Begins Topside EMALS Testing on John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)...

Newport News Shipbuilding recently began topside testing of the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) on aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79).

Following successful “no-load” testing on catapults one and two, known as the ‘bow cats,’ the NNS team, alongside the John F. Kennedy crew, has now started “dead-load” testing. In this phase, large, wheeled, car-like structures of graduated weights up to 80,000 pounds to simulate the weight of actual aircraft are launched off the carrier’s bow into the James River. They are then retrieved and relaunched until the conclusion of the test program to ensure the catapults are ready for their primary intended purpose: to launch all carrier-based fixed wing aircraft flown by the U.S. Navy.

The first dead loads used in this testing have special significance. Family members of shipbuilders signed them with messages of congratulations and gratitude during the shipyard’s Family Day held in October.

Newport News Shipbuilding has set the stage for the dual construction of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers Enterprise (CVN 80) and Doris Miller (CVN 81) in the same dry dock. Shipbuilders recently flooded the dry dock and floated and moved CVN 80’s mid-body section from one end of the dry dock to the other. The evolution required years of planning and enhancements and will allow dry dock work for CVN 81 to begin.

"A világ legnagyobb hadihajó-típusának, a Gerald R. Ford-osztályú repülőgép-hordozónak második hajója, az USS John F. Kennedy átadásában két év csúszás keletkezett. Ennek oka a szakember- és alkatrészhiány, azonban így az Amerikai Egyesült Államoknak évtizedek óta először be kell érnie "mindössze" 10 hordozóval, tekintve, hogy jövőre leszerelik az USS Nimitzet - közölte az U.S. Naval Institute."
