#1 Good to see that the Navy hasn't fixed the oxgen rigs in the planes yet. That means it doesn't matter of the Ford can't launch them safely, because you couldn't fly it anyway. Problem solved.

I do, however have to wonder what language the editor of the article speaks, what with a phrase like "environment control system failed in part thanks to a pair of high-tech wrist watches".
Did you even read that line?

Technically known as the Navy comma.
