On October 28, U.S. President Trump, who was visiting Japan, and Japanese Prime Minister Sakaimi Takashi went to the U.S. Navy Yokosuka Base and boarded the U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington.

According to US media reports such as Newsweek, Trump announced in a speech to US officers and soldiers on the scene that he would sign an executive order requiring future aircraft carriers built by the United States to use steam catapults and hydraulic elevators.

Trump says he knows how to build ships.Then, twice in the speech, asked the crew of the ¡°Washington¡± aircraft carrier: ¡°Which one do you think is better than steam and electromagnetic?¡± Trump called electromagnetic catapults "stupid and ridiculous".He said that electromagnetic launches are not only expensive, but are still unable to work properly under the maintenance of top talent.

Trump said that in contrast, steam catapults have been in use for 50 years, and their performance is no worse than electromagnetic catapults, and their performance is reliable and can be repaired with simple tools. In addition, Trump said that he likes to see the "beautiful" scene on the deck of the aircraft carrier when using steam ejection. If electromagnetic ejection is used, this scene will not be visible. Trump said he would sign an order that the United States would switch back to using steam catapults in building new aircraft carriers in the future, and repeatedly said that he was "serious." In addition, he also said he required U.S. aircraft carriers to use hydraulic elevators. (World Wide Web)
