I feel like news organizations should stop assuming these massive expenditures the Trump admin announces are in good faith rather than just funneling money to his fascist and billionaire allies, since virtually no big project he has announced has ever been completed.

So we are going to spend billions for giant slow artillery stations. The survival of them is short in any kind of all out war. I was a navy firefighter and even carriers are just big slow targets with one job. Air superiority. Battleships are a first strike platform.

not a single one will be built, commissioned or sailed. This is just a grift. If we ever return to the rule of law any contractor who takes money for this should face criminal charges and be run out of the MIC.

The Navy has already stated that these would not even be started until 2030, so my hope is that this is another Trump wet dream.

My take: He was briefed on the DDG(x) program just ran with it. He made it about himself as usual. He wants to call it a battleship but doctrinally it is not one.
The Navy is looking to upgrade the current DDGs But is so early they are just getting the requirements down.
He figured his sense of aesthetics was more important than the physics of reflecting radar waves for stealth bombers.

All naval ships take several years to become commissioned and Donnie won’t be in office. His name will be scrubbed from any naval ships.

What is special about this type of ship? Does it wander around the ocean aimlessly and never really get to where it is supposed to go?

End game is Trump says in the headlines, most news never bothers to fact check, and mage cult loves it regardless of Trump ever goes thru with it.
It’s exhausting to keep up with the mountain of shit that Trump vomits daily.

They should call it the USS Canyonero.

The damage this project would cause to US naval doctrine and readiness would be an impeachable offense if it weren’t for the littany of other far crimes he’s committed. The only shipbuilding sites big enough to host this are already building super carriers, the thing naval supremacy has rested on since Yamato and Musashi were destroyed by torpedo bombers.
