Good-luck little orange turd, trying to cheat boilermakers, pipe-fitters and shipwrights like you do contractors and vendors. You will be “swimin with the fishes, with concrete boots”. As for the idea its smells like rotten carcass of many fish. We know trumpy got the idea from Putin, but clearly Putin is butt hurt that $1000, drones are sinking his big bad excuse for ships. Some body take the crack pipes away from the old man and his shoes too.
Thank god for the immutable laws of physics that guarantees no major weapons system can go from concept to completion in less than 15 - 20 years, Plenty of time to axe this stupid idea once this battalion size bunch of dysfunctional morons is long gone.
To be fair, he's always been right about the electromagnetic catapult system. You know what they say about broken clocks. On the other hand, considering the sunk costs, along with the immense cost of retrofitting steam cats to the ship in service and the two currently under construction, the navy really has no option now but to continue plugging away on the EMALS. <i>Eventually</i> they'll get it working up to spec.
This tracks. Republicans are size queens. In the late 70's they were insisting on bringing back the battleships. OG Nuclear Navy dude Carter said putting 40's tech back out on the ocean was dumb, so of course Reagan brought them back. He wanted to have them shell Lebanon, but IIRC the contractor that refurbished the armor was dicey so they had to stay offshore for fear that cheap Chinese Silkworm missiles might damage what was built to slug it out with the Yamato.
Well one thing is a fact, and that is that it will never be built. Currently we don't have the capacity and the planning of our warships is so kakistrophic (fancy made up word for "shitty") that we took a good frigate design from the Italians that was supposed to allow us to build out our Navy for less money and at an enhanced rate and then proceeded to change 80% of the design so that it cost twice as much and would take years more to complete.
Just like the letters getting scraped off the Kennedy Center once the Mad King kicks it or is impeached this won't ever last.
What will last is his name will forever be wedded to EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!
prolly the only time i've been glad our military-industrial complex has already committed itself to building gerald fords and taking apart nimitz's for the next forever at the only shipyard we have that can churn out a giant capital ship every decade or two. military just wants giant carrier groups now. just haven't figured out how trump is gonna wet his beak on this one yet.
Trump is indicative of the collective intelligence of the American electorate. Don't worry. No ships will be built. We don't do that anymore. We don't even have our own Maritime Fleet. They all fly under the flags of other countries.
A 'golden fleet?' Will it be painted Home Depot Gold #213? Just like all the plastic crap in the Oval?
Gold painted battleships, something never before seen, because Orange is a very 'aesthetic person'.
Not mentioned here is that there's to be some sort of medallion with his hideous visage on every one of these ships. Perfect for target practice, I sez.
I'm pretty sure his grammar is a bit off. Can the word aesthetic be used as an adjective like that? I mean, I'm only a 70 yo with a degree in English and a CA teaching credential, so I'm no expert, but would you not rather say "I am a person with a good aesthetic sense"? Or "sense of aesthetics".
The $5 billion estimate is low by a factor of 4 at least. The "vision" is for something 3x as large as the USS Missouri, 150,000 tons. That makes one very expensive sitting duck.
Ok, right away I'm regretting spending 3 minutes to a cursory critical analysis of his brain fart.
They'll probably create a virtual ship video, put those big VR headsets on him, and he'll think it's real. Then, they'll publish some AI photos and MAGA will think it's real, too.
Even a non-military person like myself knows that "aesthetics" are the least important consideration when designing weaponry. Maybe they'll give him some paint swatches from Sherwin-Williams and tell him he gets to pick the color of his battleships.
Just in: China has unexpectedly welcomed a portion of the US arms buildup: Trump's plan to construct 2 supersized battleships. 'We only have one suggestion' adds the Chinese Ambassador: is just two enough? To form a line of battle as at Jutland, shouldn't there be 10 or 12 ?
Just in! In 'a spirit of reconciliation. China has welcomed President Trump's plan to build two new super size battleships. 'We only have one suggestion', their ambassador adds: Is only two enough? To form a line of battle, as at Jutland, shouldn't there be 10 or 12?

OMFG.
That's it. Only letters. I have no words. Well okay, here are two: "adolescent megalomaniac".
You can steal that. I won't mind.

That picture looks like one of the littoral ships we have been building for the last 15 years. They are a joke and this dipshit thinks they look cool.
The had to whip something up for Leader Littledick.
Donvict can’t stay on topic.
Battleships?
What is this, a kid’s game?
Warships, Donvict.
Warships for the FIFA peace prize guy.
