A new video shows the testing of the aircraft launch system for the Navy's next supercarrier.

The testing involves loading heavy wheeled vehicles onto the catapults and launching them into a river.

The USS John F. Kennedy is the Navy's second Ford-class aircraft carrier.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
