Don't know who made this video, but...
1) the catapult still has major issues and hasn't been certified
2) 30% more sorties is still limited to flight crews and airframes
3) the Rail Gun is in testing and there will not be a place to put it on the carrier, nor will there be power for it...
My 2 cents...

Every new technology, and this ship certainly qualifies, have initial bugs to work out and the class of ship itself being new, this is more the case. Besides if you are the digital channel marketing for the media, are you going to announce the bugs before the world, or shout it's praises. It was designed for public release on YouTube not military facing so obviously there is going to be some different protocols considering all the hoopla regarding the new class of ship development LOL
