Didn’t Ukraine sink the flagship of Russia with drones. Why would Trump’s battleships be any different? There are two reasons why these ships might be built. When Trump announced these ships, Trump, knowing more about designing balttleships than anyone else, said he was going to help design the ships. The second reason is that experts ripped this idea apart. Trump knowing more than all experts will push this idea.
Brand new coral reefs incoming.
It’s not the 1980’s he wants to relive. It’s the 1890’s.
Hi.
Some of you may know me, I post here a lot. I work in the software industry in naval weapons, I have secret clearance and a degree in physics. Poke around my comment history, none of this is news.
I mention my background because this basically my bread and butter. Of all the things Trump has done to waste money and damage our nations security, this is *by far the stupidest*.
We mothballed the old (ww2) battleships because *they are obsolete in a world of air power*. The big guns on a battleship can *maybe* hit something 20 miles away. We can put a tomahawk cruise missile through a window 1000 miles away(figuratively speaking), or launch *b2 bombers from fucking missouri and have them anywhere in the world in 18 hours*, and back home for dinner the next day.
Neither puts a 1000 person ship’s crew in harms way.
That’s just for start.
We need about 100 more [Arliegh Burke class destroyers,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer?wprov=sfti1) not a dozen outdated battleships.
All for his ego.
Since he wants to design it, there will be granite floors and marble counters, gold accents. What the fuck does he know about deaigning warship, nothing!!!
He wants his version of the Great White Fleet. He hears that Teddy Roosevelt did it so why can’t he?
Trump is an utter moron. People don’t realize just how dumb he actually is.
We stopped using them for a good reason…multiple actually
