Navy Plans to Buy 15 Costly Trump-Class Battleships

Bloomberg: “The US #Navy said it plans to buy at least 15 new #battleships endorsed by President Donald #Trump over the next 30 years, according to its new shipbuilding plan, marking a deeper commitment than previously revealed to what could be the costliest warship ever produced

Phelan recently suggested to #Trump that the #Navy might have to rely on European shipyards to deliver the #battleships on the ambitious timeline Trump was demanding, senior #military & administration officials said.

Trump rejected the suggestion.

In his December news conference, announcing the battleships, Trump had vowed that the vessels—“the largest battleship in the history of the world ever built”—would be made in the US with US steel.

The #Trump admin has failed over the last 16 months to nominate anyone to serve as assistant secretary for research, development & acquisition—who is supposed to oversee the #Navy’s weapons programs. And the Navy’s civilian work force, which plays a critical role in developing & testing new #warships, has been devastated by cuts & early retirements, #military ofcls said.

After Trump announced his plans for the new #battleships, #defense experts questioned whether they would EVER be built.

Phelan’s job was to deliver the first of Trump’s #battleships by 2028, an impossible deadline.

On Wednesday, #Trump fired Phelan, who had struggled to come up with a plan to deliver the ships on the nearly impossible timeline that Trump has demanded, senior defense & admin officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.

#Trump wanted one thing, more than anything else, from his secretary of the #Navy, #JohnPhelan: a new class of #battleships.

“They’ll be the fastest, the biggest & by far—100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built,” Trump boasted at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate & resort in Florida a few days before Christmas. Phelan, a billionaire investor who has a home near the club, stood next to the president as he made the announcement.

Times of Malta: Hundreds of postcards of warships, submarines in Malta can now be viewed online. “The collection was started by Judge Emeritus Giovanni Bonello when he was a child. Bonello donated the almost 1,500 postcards and photos taken in Maltese harbours between the 1880s and 1970s to Heritage Malta, which has now uploaded them to the recently inaugurated eMuseum platform for the public […]

🚢😆 Oh, look! The administration thinks they're building "battleships" because, you know, they're big and float. Who needs guns or armor when you've got a title and a misguided sense of naval history? The closest relative might be a Kirov class, but who cares about accuracy when you can confuse people with grandiose claims? 🤦‍♂️⚓️

There's a non-zero probability that: Trump at first said no to the US Navy's request for new battleships, but the navy replied, "Oh, sir, we forgot to mention that we are going to call them Trump Class battleships." In response, Trump told them to build more than the navy asked for.

RE: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/115765862991306177

Should have gone with a "Space Battleship" for all the likelihood of it being built.

We all know why they don't build Battleships any more, right?

In totally unrelated news Trumps kids have just started a company called Battleships4U, which has just landed a multimillion dollar deal with the US military.
