  3. "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".

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

    Decommissioned in 1920 and later used as a target ship before being scrapped. #navy #battleship #maritimehistory #naval #predreadnought #usnavy #ussalabama #ussalabamabb8 #warship destinationsjourney.com/histor

  6. 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.

  7. …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.

  8. 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.”

  9. #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.
