U.S. officials claim that Trump again requested a change in the new carrier design

On 16 August, the United States side quoted information from several United States officials that, at the request of United States President Trump, the United States Navy had once again considered making a major design adjustment to the Ford class carrier to move the island to the centre of the ship, which was expected to cost billions of dollars and extend the delivery cycle. Previously, Trump asked the new carrier to abandon the electromagnetic ejection system. According to informed officials, the United States Navy is considering adjusting the position of the new carrier on the island from its original rear to the centre of the ship's body, in view of the fact that Trump was “concerned” about the look of the Ford class carrier and hoping that it would be closer to the design of the carrier during World War II.
