, our illustrious President, the first of His name, the 45th and 47th President and Commander-in-Chief of these United States, His Excellency Donald J. Trump intends for the United States Navy to acquire ~30,000 ton "battleships" by 2030 for the discount price of no less than $5 billion USD per hull:

The new battleship will be an upgrade to the Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, which are the workhorse of the current fleet and which Trump has compared unfavorably to rival navies.

Mark Montgomery, a former rear admiral who is senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who is in touch with people involved in the discussions, said Trump will announce the battleship on Monday. However, he criticized the Golden Fleet plan as “exactly what we don’t need,” and noted that each new battleship will cost at least $5 billion.

The new ship will weigh 30,000 tons, larger than current destroyers, and have the ability to add future weapons like electromagnetic rail guns and directed energy lasers, according to one of the people familiar with the discussions.

The Navy will launch a competition to choose a vendor, and plans to procure the first hull in 2030, the official said.

I contemplated doing a "deep dive" as to why such an ambitious — if not out of touch — project is a terrible fucking idea for US taxpayers like myself, but "what's the point?!" :D

So I'll keep it simple and leave you with this . . .

It might not be a completely stupid plan.

Imagine a world where surface warships are armed primarily with EMRGs for offence and DEW (perhaps with old school passive armour) for defence. In such a case a "battleship" might make sense.

I would guess it would based on an existing hull? The San Antonio class would be my guess if that is the case. Ingalls had a model of a modified San Antonio with SPY-6, 288 VLS and a rail-gun way back in 2013.

How does the US expect to have this ready by 2030?? Especially considering their recent track record?

Like the Golden Dome timeline, if you question Chairman Chuan's dates there's a propensity to suddenly find yourself on an all inclusive CECOT vacation.

Why does this thing literally just look like DDG(X) but trump saw it and said "make it biglier" though? (and "put moar cannons" lmao)
