The defense contractor doesn't really care if they are useless as long as they can drag out the construction contracts for decades and keep the gravy train flowing.
Based on how many years it takes to build a battleship, Trump will be long gone before this brainfart is realized. Just more money pissed away do fuel his delusions of adequacy.

He'll give it an unimaginative name like "the big beautiful boat".

Wait, it's floating. Should a Trump class ship be floating?

Might as well call it a dreadnought for all the value a battleship will have in modern naval combat.

Why aren't we naming appropriate things after him? Next new strain of syphilis, perfect.

Only if said strain is widespread amongst children.

I'm curious to see what the Navy thinks a modern battleship should look like and do.

Most military equipment is crap as it is. The common misconception of "military-grade" being top-notch is actually bullshit.

Mf can’t stop naming shit and can’t fix anything while America drowns in its own capitalistic sea of sharks.

Let me guess, they're big piles of expensive, stinky shit

LOL! They're gonna be mothballed soon after he's gone, what do you want to bet?
Decomission central.

They won't even be built. He will just funnel a bunch of money to his defense contractor buddies.

Just like the Great Wall down south he built very strongly.

Given the incompetence he surrounds himself with, this class will end up like the Wasa.

What is it with extremist regimes and battleships?

I’m sure it’s a penis thing.

I wish it was but I’m convinced Trump is such a pussy he doesn’t even have an excuse for a penis.

Actual battleships? How well will they fare against modern weapons?
KnitWit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 238d
If he gets his way and makes them steam powered, probably not great.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 238d
I hate it so much that the steam powered thing is not satire.
Taco is really that stupid.

Let's hope they have the same quality and integrity.

I could see wanting to name one thing after myself if I were rich and famous, but naming multiple things after yourself starts to get obnoxious

First cheap gold-plated battleship in history

Someone come up with a bingo card that has things still without his name on them. Won't take long to call a winner.
