Situation is the same, The Kennedy and the Enterprise need to be built with Steam cats and arresting gear and conventional Weapons Elevators until they get this new crap worked out. It is still not right. No use in putting unfounded technology on two more carriers and have them cripple before they are even launched. The FORD is as clumsy as her namesake. It is NOT FAIR to her crew! They deserve a Ship that works!
