USS John F Kennedy Catapult Testing
Testing the Magnetic Catapults on the USS John F Kennedy (CVN-79) now under construction at Newport News Shipyard.
Former USS Enterprise moored nearby. Her replacement (CVN-80) is also under construction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yuMgG25VQM

The new Enterprise (CVN-80) will use metal recycled from Enterprise (CVN-65) and the Portholes from the Big E's predecessor, Enterprise (CV-6).

Wiki - "Various artifacts and mementos from (CVN-65) also nicknamed the "Big E" were kept aboard from her predecessor (CV-6). The port holes in the captain's in-port cabin and conference room are only one example. The aforementioned port holes aboard the CVN-65 will be removed and returned to the Boston Navy Yard Museum."
Edit - Maybe Wiki needs a update? I'd like to see anything they could possibly utilize on (CVN-80) from (CVN-65) & (CV6), the OG Big E! Frank

Yeah, probably so. I've seen news of the transfer of the CV-6 portholes to CVN 80 on numerous unofficial sources.

Familiar a bit. Put some time in at GA-EMS. The Capacitors are impressive, and made in Tupelo MS, near AL. Toured the Tupelo plant, and i liked the capacitor design.
There is a whole lot that goes into the EMALS kit beyond the Caps. Big Industry stuff. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
