Personally, I think its a sensible and pragmatic move. The uncertainty over the IOC of the C model makes it a very risky proposition. Taking production set 2 of EMALS is certain to be a risk also. Better take the B regardless of its perceived limitations and get Carrier Strike reestablished as soon as. This sensibly means that we can operate/rotate both our new carriers as planned. Agree they should be Navy cabs also.
