Gladrag,
I understand your sentiments completely but...
A bootstrap normally requires a hardware forced reset of the memory address register to point to a location which has a low order value. After which, execution of progressively more complex routines take the operating system memory address into higher order memory space.
In other words a bottom up process.

you'd be surprised at how many pressure retaining structures don't catastrophically fail when they only see another 15psi differential,,,,,,

Who said the tyres were left inflated before launch? Tyres have very rigid structure and as long as they aren't keeping the weight of the car off the ground they will happily hold their shape.

It's been a while...
If you think the UK is the only one having carrier development problems, here's a report from Bloomberg on the USS Gerald R Ford - currently due to achieve "initial combat duty" in 2022, and at least 3 years behind schedule. Apparently they now want to delay 'shock testing' the ship for 6 years.

matter of judgement really - you could extend a Nimitz, or take the risk that the test will either damage something (or worse) show some basic flaws or hope the Chinese don't carry out the testing for you for free before 2025

Interesting to see the US issues, although I'd argue that the UK isn't having carrier development problems, because everything seems to be going to plan at present. Huge, complex prototype of a ship and the main issue to emerge in contractors trials was a dodgy propshaft seal, quickly fixed. RW trials currently under way on schedule, FW trials on schedule for later this year as planned.

Sea trials in Biscay while it was on it’s way to Gib.

On HER way.....
PEDANT off
Thanks for the links, though! Great pic of a Chinny overhanging the edge of the lift. That would have been quite difficult with lifts in the middle of the deck.

WEBF,
IT is a 65,000 ton collection of steel, alloys, plastic, systems and fluids, crewed by males and females.
So just why do you think it is female? It does NOT have a gender!

George K Lee,
Of course, how true, and very remiss of me!!

Centuries of nautical tradition is that ships are female. The linked pages from the RN site use terms such as 'she' and 'her'.
. Perhaps they're better described as trans - in keeping with the times...
Actually, exceptions are often made for crabs and (some) WAFUs.
From the UK Defence Journal website:

It was inspired by a remark that I heard the diminutive, perfectly formed but rather over-estimated Capt Lygo make at the commissioning ceremony of the "real aircraft carrier" Ark Royal in 1970 when he said, "some of you may have noticed as you came over the brow, it is an aircraft carrier". I then realised that normal seamanlike language (let alone precautions) should not be expected of everyone wearing a blue uniform.
