And they’re off – Butte engineers from MSE Inc. headed for USS Nimitz to test new launch technology

If the testing for the aircraft launch technology proves successful, Navy officials plan to leave MSE’s system in place on the USS Nimitz for the remainder of the cruiser’s deployment. The Navy then may retrofit additional carriers, which would translate into a roughly $10 million project for the Butte-based MSE, a spokesman said..
