Trump finally has lost all his marbles shows his stable genius again: the US Navy is now going to build this beauty. About 20-25 ships of the Trump-class, with the first of it being the USS Defiant. The Trump class, got it? Ha!

What's that you might ask? Well, the US Navy finally after decades of only having supercarriers and nothing else will have proper battleships again as part of the Golden fleet, because as we do know only battleships win fights but not pesky supercarriers! Hooray!



There's a reason why nobody has built new battleships in decades, because they are obsolete. Maybe the Navy will make it look a multi purpose ship class, which on surface might look like one but can also carry out destroyer tasks, so they are just destroyers in disguise? I wonder...

Or will they like Trump just take bribes everywhere and be corrupt as Trump?

Do you know who in the past also ordered building useless weaponry, because he thought he knew better than his generals? Adolf Hitler...

Geezus! It's already on the navy.mil domain?

One bit of good news: It's unlikely to see the light of day, as the next administration will surely cancel this crap before the first keel is laid.

Bad news: Trump wants to have a hand in the design aesthetics.

So maybe he'll go for something like this.
This picture is proof positive that AI is evil. No benign force could come up with that.

Ship classes traditionally get named after the first ship of the class, so for there to be a Trump-class type of ship, there would have to be a ship named Trump as well.

He'll be out of office before the keel is laid, and dead before the engines and rest of the hull systems are installed. After that we'll have a useless hulk to be repurposed

Well, garbage and floating recycling hubs need SOMETHING to be based on, right? Or maybe Musk will buy it and make it a floating "Nation"

I think you are underestimating the amount of time the naval architects will spend scratching their heads and asking intelligent questions like, "WTF??" and, "No, seriously, WT actual F?!?!?"

Option 1 is they build the world's largest frigate and FINALLY cram their wishlist into it. Option 2 is they stall for time and buy off-the-shelf frigates, extend the hulls, and fit shipping crates with 1 or 2 wishlist items, and convince Admiral I-want- it -akl to shut the f### up.

Saying no to free money is not on the table

I was thinking more along the lines of a target training barge.

What makes you think naval architects will be involved?

Trump will probably call Elon and tell him to make his engineers come up with something.
