So they'll be shitty, ineffective and overpriced?
Don’t forget tacky.
But an important thing for ships, never a hole in one!
Plated with lots of fake gold and shitty fonts.
And big bottomed. blobby shaped hulls. Slow and trashy.
Well... They are going to be American made.
Seems like he might find a way to leave a contractor unpaid. Maybe several contractors.
And a pedophile human trafficker.
Also completely incapable of telling friend from foe
I mean, that would've been true anyway, since battleships haven't been useful since WWII.
Trump's involvement just means they'll be extremely so.
They were actually still worthwhile up into Korea but the Korean war is the weird middle child between WW2 and Vietnam that everyone forgets about.
It's not that I forgot about the Korean War, it's that I wasn't aware it had any significant naval component for which battleships were relevant.
They were used for artillery along coastal regions, while not exactly the designated purpose of such ships it was highly effective. But yeah it was basically the last hoora of an aging design that had already started to become obsolete.
Because it will be full of Bubba's sea men?
Sounds like the kind of warship you'd buy from AliExpress
Shiny with fake gold trim everywhere, and gold colored flames painted on the side.
I'm picturing all those Wish website memes....
What a vainglorious asshole.
This is not something a sane president would do. They would not want to win a nobel peace prize then want to attach their name to the deadliest tier of a weapon.
It isn't the deadliest tier of a weapon. Battleships have been obsolete for over 80 years now.
I mean... maybe look up the Nobel family and their contributions to the world.
Like, I sincerely doubt that it is the motivation at all. But... it would be ridiculously fitting.
Utter embarrassment... anyone associated with this idiot ought to be profoundly ashamed of themselves...
I honestly think so many of them went so balls-deep on embracing this loser that they cannot admit to themselves, never mind others, just how wrong they were.
They say that family and friends of psychopathic serial killers have that problem. Can’t viscerally admit that they accepted the killer into the family.
Man's scrambling to change media and public focus. Scrambling.
Design highlights of the new #Trump class #battleships:
He has some kind of weird fixation on hydraulic vs. electric, too, so....have to incorporate that somehow.
This guy is just so fuckin' weird.
One tiny gun.
The US naval shipbuilding has been reduced to like ... two yards ... Bremerton and Baltimore, i think ?
Newport News is still around, it’s the only yard that’s built every nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, other than the Charles de Gaulle.
Bit of trivia: the mid-life refit program for Canada's Iroquois-class destroyer was called TRUMP: Tribal Refit and Update Modernisation Program.
That program happened in the 1980s, so Mr. Trump is 40ish years late to claim the name.
The only way he can have any class
Tell me about this Trump class! Is it couth? Is it debonair? I must know more.
It's probably like his steaks, or his vodka, or his airline, or his casinos....
Probably the worst ship that can be built, if the current admnistration is an indicator. Big as a carrier, but oblong instead of ship-shaped, and propelled by a standard-sized outboard motor sold by one of Trumps relatives for $fortune.
Will also sink on launch, because including a bottom was too expensive.
They sink THAT fast?
I can't wait to see these no class vessels
Warship sized
Will these Trump class ships be really really huge but have no substance?
glory holes in every room!
Tiny ego If you center everything around you. Well..
It'll be sold on late night TV? Operators are standing by, call now!
No VLS cells is such the perfect cherry on the turd.
