US announces plans for new 'Trump class' of battleships
US President Trump has announced plans for a new "Trump class" of battleships, marking the start of an expanded naval buildup.
www.odt.co.nzI don’t have direct access to the latest live news right now. If you want, I can summarize what has been reported recently about a so-called “Trump class” battleship and its budget, but I’ll need to fetch current sources first.
Here’s how I can help next:
- Quick update: I can look up credible outlets (AP, Reuters, BBC, major U.S. papers) for the latest statements on any proposed Trump-class battleships and their budget.
- Context: I can explain what a battleship budget typically covers (design, construction, weapons, maintenance, crew, lifecycle costs) and how large defense budgets are allocated and debated.
- Analysis: I can compare reported figures (e.g., unit costs, total program cost, timeline) and note any noted concerns about affordability, production delays, or contractor oversight.
If you’d like me to pull up the latest reporting now, say “Yes, fetch the latest sources,” and I’ll proceed and cite each claim.
