Late last year, unsurprisingly, Der Trumpf announced a new class of “battleships” named after himself that will be 100 times more powerful than previous battleships and larger than any other ship ever to ply the oceans. The ship’s purported characteristics are so extraordinary that the announcement will surely spark discussion. However, there is little need for this, because these ships, like most of Trumps promises will never come to fruition. They Would take years to design, cost at least $9 billion each to build, and contravene the Navy’s new concept of operations, which envisions distributed firepower. Without a doubt, any future administration will cancel the program before the first 24 carat gold plated ship hits the water.
“Stealthy?”
