I've seen new architect kids and draftsmen make better renderings 15 years ago.
Just imagine how bad all the gold plating will look being constantly exposed to salt water.
Gold doesn't corrode, might be the best idea yet!
Except when it does start corroding, we'll know its not real gold.
Trump-class battleships
Slow, bloated, lacking any intelligence capability, staffed by only straight white christian men, mysteriously costs 10x what it should, has a pedophile ballroom, and is painted orange for some reason.
"US navy Molester Class Trumpliners"
Pedophile class destroyer named the USS Child Rapist.
I hope all of this frantically naming shit after himself is because he was recently told he's about to die
Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
Traitor class
It'll never get made. We have heard enough time filling the destroyer and submarine orders the navy ordered 20 years ago. Those and drones are where sea warfare is going. Battle ships are billionaire dollar targets that can be taken out my a $5 million dollar missile. As Russia about how they were forced to ancher or remove their fleets around Ukraine. All by stuff you can buy at home depot. Modern warfare made battleships obsolete around 1947.
They new FFX frigates are supposed to be glorified drone controllers/motherships. Makes sense. dispersed force is the future.
Yup. You don't even need to damage or sink capital ships anymore. Just the threat alone keeps them out of fighting. When a guy with c4 and a dingy can knock your $20 billion dollar aircraft carrier out of the fight for even an hour, ist catastrophic.
Even beyond the basic drydock capacity we straight up don't produce enough steel for this anymore. Even the US military industrial complex is a hollow shell.
It's basically a money laundering operation that kills children on the side
I guess that's one thing to be optimistic about
USS Epstein, Trump-class battleshit
Bridge players all over the world now call the trump suit the "Lincoln" suit. Got any three's? Go bridge!
Whoever is next is going to be busy enough in their first term just taking Trumps name off things.
Trump’s eponymous battleships will be armed with guns and missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered lasers.
The lack of robots and sharks makes me worry he might be losing his touch entirely.
Not even magnets... 🙂↔️
Trumpy Mc Trumpface
As a trekkie, I'm extra offended that he's tainting the name USS Defiant
It was probably planned as the Defiant class but the Dorito Dictator isn't going to be happy until he's named every single thing after himself.
USS Bone Spurs
Kinda funny that it's a battleship of all things. Really shows you the sort of brainless nostalgia that's running things. The end of this gerontocracy can't come soon enough.
So, how big is the Trump’s deck
best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans. The enemy are going to be so stunned by it's beauty they won't shoot at it!
US already doesn't have the shipbuilding capacity to lay down the hulls we've already got planned for years, but yeah go on.
Yeah I’m not an expert but I don’t think US really needs these?
So basically it's the opposite of what the navy need. The navy has needed a cheaper more numerous hull to complement the Burke class. Something that they have failed with the LCS program and the recently canceled Constellation.
The Trump class is so large they might have to be built into the same dockyard as carriers. I don't know if Bath iron works can accommodate ships that large. So it would have to be Newport News Shipbuilding or Ingalls Shipbuilding, both of which are already very busy.
It also means that the dockyard for smaller ships still don't have any work and some of them could eventually shutdown from bankruptcy, further reducing the number of dockyard and production facilities for the navy.
Edit: I am also going to add, since we have the design for the FF(X) ship that is going to replace the cancelled Constellation class. The FF(X) if it's built as planned is significantly worse than Constellation and will not fill the role that the navy needs. But it's probably a nice bit of money for Ingalls Industries.
Not only didn't need them. They are considered a tactical liability.
For the resources to build a battleship, they o could build a couple of cruisers. In aggregate those would be more flexible, have better survivability, and have more offensive capability
It is a stupid bloated vessel for the sake of some twisted sense of superficial extravagant while in truth being a subpar waste of a bunch of people's money. So I guess maybe it is worthy of being named Trump class.
The US doesn't need any of Trump's fucked up vanity projects, but they seem content to allow him to do it anyway.
inb4 American Vasa.
Gustav Adolf: "All right, who's responsible? I'll have them beheaded for this!"
[Sees his own signature on the blueprints]
"Uh, um, I guess this was actually no one's fault, when you really think about it"
Yeah, that sounds like something Trump would do.
Only thing is, nobody would want to raise this wreck. It'd immediately get raided by a crack team of North Korean gold thief divers.
If it is like all other projects of this administration, it will do a Wasa on them at launch.
This thing knows he is dying and knows his name will be known for so very many bad things...but it still wants to be remembered.
The orange buffoon wants to 'muddy the waters' of his shitty legacy by trying to erase his desires of raping women and kids and thinks by naming everything he can after himself people will forget what he's done.
The thing thinks that in the future the word tRUMP will be synonymous with battle ships and art centres. The obese kiddie fiddler wants to be remembered like Kennedy is remembered...but decent people and decent countries will only remember him as Epstein's rape buddy. A racist, fascist, child fucking convicted rapist.
knows his name will be known for so very many bad things
He absolutely does not.
He literally thinks he's perfect and that his shit doesn't stink. He is a narcissist.
That's why he wants his name on a fucking battleship because it's "strong" like him.

It is fitting that the new gold-plated Epstein class warships are being announced at Mar-a-Lago. What a mighty Navy we shall have.
Before I read your comment, I was about to suggest renaming them Buffoon or Baboon Class.
Maaan if I was president I would name it the Nautilus class or something cool like that. I mean, after fixing the nonsense this bozo did first.
Basic dictator.
Here we go Zuhmwalting again
Finally! The troops surely are clamoring for a Dinghy that's spray painted gold!
Gladly introducing the taco fleet
