“As of early 2020 the navy believes the EMALS problems have been solved.

BUT One problem does remain. If one EMALS catapult develops problems all four EMALS catapults are out of service until the malfunctioning one is fixed. That was not a problem with steam catapults.

How much faster are 3 steam catapaults than ZERO EMALS catapults?

Better question: how do the returning pilots feel when they learn they cannot land?
