Testing the new electromagnetic cats on the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford.

It was discovered the EM cats are so powerful they put too much stress on the external fuel tanks carried by
numerous aircraft. Supposedly this is being resolved with a software modification.

Amazing the EM cats could be more powerful than the steam cats.

When you have a nuclear reactor generating power, you can convince an
F-18 it doesn't need those fuel tanks...
