The US Navy fixed the propulsion problems on its $13 billion supercarrier, but the ship still has serious issues

The US Navy says that shipbuilders have finally fixed the propulsion systems on the USS Gerald R. Ford, one of the problems that has been keeping the ship at the shipyard longer than expected.
While the ship can now sail without problem, the service continues to struggle with the advanced weapons elevators, critical systems required to move bombs and missiles to the flight deck.
The Navy has increasingly come under fire for its handling of the USS Gerald R. Ford, which is behind schedule, over budget, and still struggling with various problems.
