The interim hook solution (I believe the hook change itself without the 'dampener' being modified to final solution) was tested successfully. Hence the flyinSloMo video seen earlier. It was news that apparently F-35C carrier trials are this year - instead of next. Perhaps the reference was actually to the 'cancelled due sequestration' 2nd set of USS Wasp/F-35B trials. I found that article riddled with odd, mangled quotes. Do USN people really speak that way? Or do reporters not record what they say accurately? I dunno. Tweren't there meself.
