President Donald Trump’s administration can’t seem to stop naming things after him.
Trump, along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan, announced the construction of two new Navy ships on Monday that they’ve dubbed “Trump Class” battleships.
“The future Trump Class battleship, the USS Defiant, will be the largest, deadliest, and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans,” Phelan said.
Renderings of ships were displayed at the event and emblazoned with the terms “Trump Class” and “USS Defiant.”
The administration plans to start by building two vessels, with a long-term goal of manufacturing 20 to 25, Trump said. They’ll be equipped with hypersonic weapons, missiles, guns and lasers.
