Trump's Second Term

Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan
@SECNAV
The future Trump Class Battleship USS DEFIANT will be the largest, deadliest, most versatile, and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans. I want to thank @POTUS for his vision to make this game-changing capability a reality for America’s Navy.

They have already had massive problems just trying to make relatively small naval ships work and have abandoned billions of dollars of investment. How a massive ship likes this could ever work when they can't make small ship projects work is hard to imagine.

Robots

Trump: "We're gonna need the help of robots and other forms of uhhhh, I guess you could say employment. We're gonna be employing a lot of artificial things."

Trump's change to the unemployment numbers - robots are added to the "employed" side. The unemployed percentage drops like a rock, which shows how amazingly good everything is with him in charge!
 
The White House
@WhiteHouse
They tried. NOBODY can stop POTUS from delivering for the American people. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The 'Trump class battleship' is not included in this year's just passed defense budget, it's fiction.

OMG I just saw the illustration. It looks like Anders Björkman designed it.

Over on the history videos thread I posted about what I called, "HMS Escher", which is completely realistic AI slop, presumably of Warspite, but I wonder if it might be the inspiration for the design:

HMS Escher doesn't seem to be a real vessel. The Internet keeps telling me that I maybe mean the HMS Archer.

What ship are you talking about?

Hey Louisiana, I’m not going anywhere!

As a Cajun, my family and families like mine have lived under more flags than anyone in the continental US.

There is no better flag for freedom and opportunity than the flag of the United States. I look forward to sharing that message with the people of Greenland.

I look forward to the people of Greenland sharing with you that there is literally no better flag for freedom than your own and nobody else's. Rather obvious when you give it even a moment's thought.

Loosely paraphrased:

“What does a submariner call a battleship? A target.”

I would have thought that modern subs made these slow moving monsters obsolete.

I like Tom Nichols’s take on this (gift article).

Why would you think that?

Modern AS escorts can deal with subs.

When I wason AS Frigates in the 80s we regularly intercepted subs on exercise and gad no problem hearing Russian boats.
 
I have to admit, If I was flying somewhere and a millionaire said I could use his private jet I would say yes please.
 
We are going to need lots of new Capital Ships, given that every wargame says we are going to lose all aircraft carriers within 30 of starting a war with China.

I'm sure we can build 20 Battleships in the time it takes China to build ... 200
