- The post features a video clip of President Trump announcing approval for the U.S. Navy to construct two "Trump-class" battleships, touted as the fastest and 100 times more powerful than historical models, as part of his "Golden Fleet" to enhance American maritime superiority.
- This announcement, made at Mar-a-Lago with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, follows the Navy's recent scrapping of a smaller warship program due to $2 billion in cost overruns, redirecting focus to larger vessels amid rising global tensions, including with Venezuela.
- Naval experts note these upgrades to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers could incorporate hypersonic missiles and advanced radar, addressing U.S. Strategic Command assessments that current fleets lag behind China's rapid shipbuilding, which outpaces America by 200 vessels since 2014.

We don't need big battleships. We need a shitload of destroyers.

They're our only defense against seaborne aliens.

This is a colossal waste of money. God damn.
“Battleships” fell out of favor for a reason.

Another boondoggle of a naval program guaranteed to be canceled. Thankfully, this one won’t get too far before being canned in 2029.

One for us. One for our "Greatest Ally"?
I hope they are each equipped with a ballroom and a McDonalds.

It’s probably a safe assumption that the available tech now has made the battleships viable & needed again

Such a huge waste of money wtf. We found out battleships were obsolete almost 100 years ago.
