路透社8月13日电 白宫周四表示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已下令海军放弃用于航母舰载机弹射的复杂系统，转而重新使用蒸汽弹射器。
特朗普签署了一份国家安全备忘录，要求更改现有弹射方案，拆除“杰拉尔德·R·福特”级航母搭载的电磁弹射系统，预计这一改动将耗资数十亿美元。亨廷顿英戈尔斯公司（HII.N，打开新标签页）是福特级航母的主承包商。

特朗普此前多次批评海军的电磁弹射系统成本更高，且不如蒸汽弹射器好用。
“他们在电动弹射器上多花了数十亿美元，但这些弹射器根本不好用。它们远不够可靠，且过于复杂，”特朗普上个月在宾夕法尼亚州的一场国防峰会上说道。

Aug 13 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the Navy to abandon a complex system for launching jet fighters from its aircraft carriers and instead go back to using steam catapults, the White House said on Thursday.
Trump signed a national security memorandum directing the change which would require the removal of the electromagnetic catapult system used on Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers and is expected to cost billions of dollars. Huntington Ingalls (HII.N), opens new tab is the primary contractor building Ford class aircraft carriers.

Trump has frequently criticized the Navy’s electromagnetic launch system as being more expensive and not as effective as steam catapults.
“Billions of dollars more they spent on electric catapults and they’re not good. They’re not nearly as good, too complex,” Trump said at a defense summit in Pennsylvania last month.
