An experimental F-35C recently launched from the US Navy’s experimental Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS).  Though it was not the first fighter to do so, it may very well be the first single-engine aircraft major weapons system launched by a US Navy catapult of any kind in some time.  By the time the F-35 is operational, the EMALS will likely be established on the Gerald R. Ford class of carriers, assuming no major issues in each program.
