There may come an article that has been properly researched and written - but it is not this one.

There may come an article that has been properly researched and written - but it is not this one. If you understand just a little bit about electricity and want to laugh, read the article. If not, just look at the headline, that will do...

Yes, that new carrier has a weapon so secret we are publishing it on the internet! By the way, this catapult must be the carrier's new secret weapon. Why? Because "the aircraft accelerates the catapult"! This is an aircraft carrier only on the surface, in truth it is a catapult carrier, flinging catapults at the enemy: Catapultam habeo...

But it is a great carrier: It "can generate 13,800 volts of electrical power"! That's "more than three times the 4,160 volts the Nimitz-class carriers could generate"! I wonder if the author would suffer a stroke if someone told him a lot of people can generate way more at home...

Well, it was a good laugh, thanks for that...
