The US Navy is having its sailors train on an aircraft carrier weapon system that the service is planning to rip out of its Nimitz-class carriers due to its ineffectiveness.
Sailors continue to train on the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS), a weapon system that was designed to counter one of the single greatest threats to an aircraft carrier — torpedoes, The War Zone reports, noting that the Navy recently released images of sailors aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower training on the ATTDS for a Board of Inspection and Survey.

On any weapons system, training is required until the system is no longer in service.

They need to train on any system that is still in operation and being used until the new system is fully fielded. It takes several years to field and place new equipment into operation.
You'd think they had stumbled upon some big fraud, waste and abuse story; but instead it's just business as usual in the real world of weapons development and fielding.
