When asked if the new class of ships is developed to counter China, Trump said they are intended to counter “everybody.”
“They’ll be the fastest, the biggest and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built,” Trump said standing alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a Mar-a-Lago public appearance.

How about a starship while we’re doomspending

Alfred Mahan’s ideas about nations securing their place in global geopolitics through the use of large, heavy battleships became obsolete around a century ago. A 30,000 ton BB is essentially comparable to the USS Missouri, which is currently a museum ship at permanent anchor in Pearl Harbor. These days, a ship’s size offers little advantage, and simply makes it an easier target for anti-ship missiles.
Needless to say, this idea is completely bonkers and was cooked up purely to inflate Trump’s ego. None of these ships will ever even reach the design phase.

This ain’t happening. But it sure seems like fun to announce things.

Somehow I think this is it, the most farcical thing so far.

Trump may be the dumbest leader the world has ever seen.
The age of battleships ended early during the Second World War, and the British and Japanese proved that end decisively.
