  1. Separately, CVN78 not only eliminated steam for the catapults, but also for the gallery, which went to electric as well. As for the pressure of saturated steam, 14psi is atmospheric & thus really low temperature, 100C or just at boiling point. 14psi above gage is but 120C. Edit: perhaps 140psi which is just above 350F?

  2. Ford Class CVNs not only went electric for the catapults (EMALS) but also for the galleries. The CS's by all account are very happy with electric.

  3.  @tominiowa2513  Hello again! Instead of going to CVN78, G.R. Ford's commissioning, I went to Orange City for RAGBRAI 2017 😁.
