"US President Donald Trump on Monday unveiled plans for a new class of Navy ship named after himself. While speaking at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, the president claimed the "Trump-class" Navy vessels "will be the largest battleship in the history of our country." The new initative will start with two "Trump-class" vessels before being expanded to up to 25 new ships, which is being dubbed the "Golden Fleet.""
""The US Navy will lead the design of the these ships along with me, because I'm a very aesthetic person," Trump said at the event, with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in attendance. The ships are the latest attempt by the US president to leave his mark on the US Armed Forces. Trump has never served in the military."
President Donald Trump unveiled plans for a new class of Navy ships named "Trump-class." The initiative will begin with two vessels and could expand to as many as 25 ships, collectively dubbed the "Golden Fleet." The Trump-class vessels were described as potentially the largest battleships in US history, with the US Navy leading design alongside Trump, who emphasized aesthetics. Senior officials including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended the announcement. The proposal reflects an effort to imprint a presidential legacy on the armed forces. No US warships currently bear Trump's name.
