No. They're electric linear accelerators (railgun) on the Gerald R. Ford.

That's why they're testing them with sleds first.

Okay. How old is that Gerald R. Ford.

Another question, are those sleds harvested from the harbor?

My guess would be that they float. It would be stupidly expensive otherwise.
