Remote Valve Actuators. The Limotorque models MX-5 amd MX-10 were removed
from the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN-71) at the end of March, per the contract. AMSEC is
in the process of analyzing the results and will produce a test report in the near future.
Initial ship reports were positive, but AIRLANT has commented tha the actuators need
additional work to reduce the size of the devices and permit more efficient operation.
Upon receipt of the test report, NAVSEA will make a determination regarding fleet use.
