Battleships don't have the same upside and all the same downside.

I think battleship is confusing here but thats typical for Trump. It will have one railgun and smaller 5" guns which similar to the Arleigh Burke class or cruisers.

The rest is missiles, some hypersonic some cruise.

Its going to be yuge, because Donny likes things that way.

Other armaments would include a rail gun, five-inch conventional guns, and a range of lasers and smaller guns.

The battleships will be armed with new nuclear-capable cruise missiles to be launched from 12 cells on board. The missiles would be hypersonic – more than five times the speed of sound – and maneuverable to confuse enemy defenses.

The Trump class would also feature 128 vertical launch cells that can be used for slower-flying Tomahawk cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, or missile defense interceptors.
