One responder replied with one possible reason, I will give another based off my time on a rather new LHD. The Navy, to cut cost on construction, uses a lot of hand-me downs. I believe if I remember correctly, some of our engineering gear was repurposed from the USS Kitty Hawk. I dealt specifically with aviation fuels, while carriers often have limitorque values (think automated if unfamiliar), the ship I was on had none, all valves in the Av fuels system was manually operated. Keep in mind, I think construction completed in 2009 (so limitorques were definitely around).
