So, has it conducted any air operations yet, like landing and/or launching aircraft? Or are they still fooling around with getting the bugs out of the ship’s physical plant?

Flight ops (except for helicopters) is a ways down the road. This is just the second sea trial. The first was pretty much a dud. The ship barely made it out and back under its own power.

They’ll be working up for at least six months to a year.
