  2. "Sink the Bismark" (later "Sink the #Bismarck") is a #march song by American #countryMusic singer #JohnnyHorton and songwriter #TillmanFranks, based on the pursuit and #eventualSinking of the #German #battleship Bismarck in May 1941, during #WorldWarII. Horton released this song through #ColumbiaRecords in 1960, when it reached #3 on the charts. As originally released, the record label used the common misspelling "Bismark".

  4. The USS Alabama (BB-8) was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1900 as part of the Illinois class.

  5. The #Navy is also projecting that it will be asking for $17 billion in fiscal year 2028 to start construction on the first of the #Trump class, Navy ofcls said.

    But snr #defense ofcls said the program, along with Trump’s ambitious plans for his golden fleet, was marred by problems. The US shipbuilding industry has nowhere near the capacity to build a technologically advanced #battleship of the sort Trump is envisioning in the next few years, snr #military ofcls said.

  6. …Before the #Navy settled on its plans for the Trump-class #battleship, Phelan wooed #Trump to the idea by showing oil paintings of some of the service’s great battleships from earlier eras, #defense officials said.

    In its $1.5 trillion defense budget, released earlier this week, the Trump admin is asking for $65.8 billion for shipbuilding, the second-largest shipbuilding budget proposal since 1955, according to Congressional Budget Office data.

  7. Presidents rarely pay close attention to military procurement, but #Trump has spoken repeatedly about his plans for a new “Trump-class” #battleship. In a February speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg, NC, Trump insisted that he had helped design the new class of ships that bear his name.

    “I put a little more spirit in the hull,” Trump told the troops. “I want that ship to look gorgeous, you know.”

  8. #Trump called Phelan to talk about his poor relationship with other leaders in the #Pentagon.

    Feinberg & #Hegseth had recently seized some decision-making authority from Phelan, tapping a three-star admiral to oversee the #Navy’s submarine portfolio & having him report directly to Feinberg.

    That left Phelan with oversight of the major investment in new ships that Trump has called a “golden fleet,” built around the president’s beloved #battleship program.

  9. HMS Ramillies was a Royal Sovereign-class battleship of the Royal Navy commissioned into service in 1893.

    She became increasingly obsolescent as the all-big-gun concept emerged in the early 1900s. Placed in reserve and eventually paid off, being sold for breaking up in 1913, just as HMS Dreadnought had rendered her entire generation of battleships obsolete. #Navy #battleship #HMSRamillies #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Predreadnought #RoyalNavy #Ship #warship destinationsjourney.com/histor

  10. HMS Hood was a British Royal Navy pre-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Sovereign class laid down in 1889 at Chatham Dockyard and launched on 30 June 1891.
    On 4 November 1914, early in the First World War, when she was deliberately sunk as a blockship in the southern entrance of Portland Harbour to protect the anchorage from submarine attack. destinationsjourney.com/histor #RoyalNavy #battleship #HMSHood1891 #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Navy #Predreadnought #Ship #warship
