"The Navy and Coast Guard need to demonstrate that the approach to these shipbuilding programs is not a short-term deviation followed by returning to the long-standing business as usual approach. This is especially true for shipbuilding programs that require new designs, like the future Golden Fleet Trump-class BBG(X) battleship."
"Improving ship design practices is one step that could help drive different outcomes on ship building programs. Both Navy and Coast Guard continue to move into construction before designs are sufficiently mature, leading to predictable results -- cost overruns, schedule delays, and performance issues."
"It's my great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand new, very large -- the largest we've ever built -- battleships."
The Navy and Coast Guard need to ensure that their shipbuilding programs, particularly the new Trump-class BBG(X) battleship, do not revert to outdated practices. Emphasizing iterative design and user feedback is essential for success. Current issues stem from premature construction before designs are mature, leading to cost overruns and delays. The Trump administration's push for new battleships has sparked controversy, but improving design practices is crucial for achieving better outcomes in shipbuilding.
