You sure about that? I thought they got all funding pulled after spending $10 billion and ending up with two 33% finished hulls.
Trump 2.0 official thread
- Thread starter siegecrossbow
- Start date
I reckon Trump will sign contracts for construction of 2 ships. He's saying that this will be in 2.5 years time when he is still in office, but this likely means construction starts before the design is finalised. And he may structure the contract so it is cheaper to continue building than cancelling.
Presumably this replaces the DDG(X) programme which is supposed to result in a replacement for the Arleigh Burkes.
At a minimum, I would expect it to wreak havoc with ongoing Arleigh Burke production.

In that case, I hope they exceeds all our expectations.
The uncensored documents combined. Instead of using the redact function in Acrobat, they just used black highlight. Truly stunning incompetence or deliberate leaking.
EDIT: But wait! There's more!

Teething problems with the first class, to be fully resolved in subsequent classes. Profits will be maximised at all costs!
Malicious incompetence, the people doing the censoring were handpicked by Bondi/Cash

You just don't understand American culture.
The first time I heard of the Constellation Class frigate, I knew it was going to fail. I knew the Americans couldn't help themselves but to pimp up the stats, and there was simply no way to fit cruiser-level of armament into the hull of a frigate. I was right. In US, every new design has to be bigger and more badass than the previous, so this new Trump class satisfies that requirement perfectly. It would be large enough that system contractors wouldn't have to compete with each other for space, so everybody gets a share of the pie. No one will allow it to be canceled.
