All they have to do is slap an "A" onto the ship's CVN number.

Hmmm....not entirely sure I'm crazy about all that automation. An EMP could make that ship even more helpless than ships that don't rely on so much eletronics and electricity. Makes me think of the miniseries of Battlestar Galactica, where the Cylons managed to practically shut down just about the entire Colonial fleet with a cyber attack just before the main physical attack began.
Heh....I could see their chief engineer's first report:
"U.S.S. Enterprise. Shakedown cruise report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. She's got a fine engine but, half the doors won't open. And guess who's job it is to make it right?"
