New super aircraft (carrier) cannot land or recover aircraft for four days without failing and fixing...

Will the F35C be ready for this ship or will they both be late?
" Initially there was an underestimation of the forces involved inside the water twister because it is a three-dimensional flow field."
"Fixing these problems would likely require redesigning the carrier's aircraft launch and recovery systems, according to {Michael] Gilmore".
I don't suppose the engineering firm who 'designed' this will be on the hook for the redesign and redevelopment costs.
It sounds like the ship may be an innovative design marvel like 'Galloping Gertie', the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge:

So it's more complicated than a guy on deck with paddles in his hands? Galloping Gertie goes back a year or two.
She does at that, but engineer blundering is alive and well.
When I see an article like this on, it makes me think of the Preacher and imagine what he would have to say. i think you came pretty close.
