Trump Announces New Battleships Named After Himself

Donald Trump has proposed the creation of a new fleet of “Trump-class” battleships for the US Navy, boasting advanced weaponry including hypersonic missiles and rail guns. The first ship, USS Defiant, is expected to begin construction soon, with operational status anticipated in two-and-a-half years, although some sources indicate timelines may extend to the early 2030s. Trump criticized existing naval ships as outdated and emphasized his direct involvement in the design process. The announcement follows the Navy’s struggles with timely construction and technology deployment in recent projects.
