The move comes amid outcry from Democrats after the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts affixed Trump’s name to its sign in Washington.
Donald Trump’s name is being attached to a new class of U.S. battleships that will have nuclear capabilities.
Making the announcement at an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Navy Secretary John Phelan referred to the warships as “Trump-class battleships" and said a forthcoming vessel dubbed the USS Defiant will be “the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.”
Trump’s eponymous battleships will be armed with guns and missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered lasers.
Sir. The battleship is unavailable because of its bone spurs
That’s cause it’s entirely made out of bone spurs.
It was probably easier for the DoW to pretend that this cruiser is a battleship than to make Trump understand that the battleships he keeps demanding are useless in a modern war.
He only knows the word from seeing the board game that one time him and Epstein snorted coke off it
Sir the autopilot is hard coded to go to some island
Whoops let me just…. flips switch
There won’t be any battleship.
This is just another grift to streak the government coffers dry
Same with the " golden dome", “doge”, etc… all scams so his buddies can get lucrative contracts.
Even so, this is suuuuch a sad thing. A five year old would make a fantasy battle ship and name it after himself. Its pathetic
boondoggle
It’s not even that. He’s so desperate for any kind of legacy that he’s throwing his name at anything he can in the hopes it will stick, not realizing that the first non-MAGA president will remove his name from everything.
Naming a class of ships after a (checks notes) draft dodger. Makes sense to me.
Next Dem should reclassify “Trump Ship” to mean the shittiest possible boat. Leave it as a classification, just redefine it
Guy is so vain. If it isn’t a re-badge of a project. Lay a keel or two and they’ll rot in the yard before completion.
Those ships that you need to get rid of but it’s too expensive to get rid of them so you just have them rotting away somewhere.
oh hey i live near there. the mothball fleet is pretty cool actually.
If this was a just world, it would be the name of the leaky prison hulk that he’s chained up inside.
So it’ll be 300% over budget, be riddled with problems from cutting every possible corner, torpedo itself, blame Biden, and then explode in public?
It’s entirely possible it will simply be a scheme to transfer billions of dollars into their own pockets. Things gonna be made out of sheet aluminum and zip ties and cost 30 trillion dollars
I was going to ask whether this was a trump “sharpie on map but we can ignore it once the press briefing is over” kind of situation or more of a “musk drew a couple of lines, glue them on with water soluble non-heat-resisident” kind of situation.
So, Trumped up.

USS Bird Murder
USS Defendant
The USS Implications
😂🤣 Lol.
They lost their island, they need a new home
Surprised this hasn’t been posted yet in this thread.
This is the rare case where I don’t actually disagree. Then again, I think he’d do this narcissistic nonsense even if people didn’t care about Epstein. Creating petty distractions is just a habit for him, and it has always served him well.
Wow, I thought this was a joke.
Not in this timeline buddy!
I thought the Kennedy rename was an onion article. What the fuck
Does he know trump means fart?
The new vessels, which the president calls battleships, will be the latest in what the White House envisions as a Golden Fleet.
Dunno. They’re quite easy to spot, aren’t they?
you get 100 of them in formation and light the enemy on fire with the sun’s rays
Mysterious Cities of Gold intensifies…
I read that in the announcer’s voice.
The colour seems right, but the proportions are easy off.
I’m calling it: Trump is one Western movie watch away from ordering the military to bring back cavalry.

Russia Continues Using Cavalry in Failed Assault, OSINT-Shared Video Reveals
Footage shared by the OSINT community shows Russian forces attempting to storm a Ukrainian position using a horse for transport, an assault that was ultimately halted by a Ukrainian drone strike, according to video published by Exilenova+ on December 22.
While unusual at first glance, the incident aligns with earlier reports indicating that Russian frontline units have increasingly relied on animals as substitutes for destroyed or unavailable military vehicles.
The Napoleonic era is coming back, baby.
“halted”
Eeeeexcelllleeent
We still have the cavalry, stetsons and all. Unless you mean like actual horse cavalry. The U.S. Army still maintains horses and stables. But the horses are mostly just for ceremonial/parade purposes.
It’s a very small unit, though, from memory.
Also, occasionally US special forces have used horses in unusual, rugged terrain. There was some unit in Afghanistan that had some technical claim to being the most-recent cavalry charge in history.

Ceremonial horse cavalry is small, but 1st Cavalry Division still exists. Its more light armor and mechanized infantry instead of horse cavalry though.
Do they actually have horses?

Apparently yes, though it’s not huge either and it sounds like they’re being dissolved too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Cavalry_Division_Horse_Cavalry_Detachment
The 40-soldier unit is equipped with 33 dark bay horses with minimal white markings which are outfitted with Model 1885 McClellan riding saddles that are hand-made by cavalry troopers in an on-site leather shop maintained at the unit’s stables.
On 2 July 2025 the Army announced that the Military Working Equid program that includes the 1st Cavalry Division Horse Cavalry Detachment will cease operations and associated assets (MWEs) will be transferred, adopted, or donated within one year.
Oh, I hadn’t heard they were being dissolved.
those poor horses
I feel a little bad about laughing at that
Special forces it makes sense, but regular assault troops it’s just desperate.
No no no, you don’t understand. This one is going to be more than a hundred times more powerful because it’s going to be bigger and faster!
moped cavalry?
There’s a reason we don’t have battleships anymore all around the world.
If you put all the firepower on one platform, you lose everything when that platform sinks. With the sophisticated asymmetrical weaponry out there, plus the ability to use cheap drone swarms, it’s much smarter to spread the firepower over multiple platforms.
But diaper Donny the crooked pedo wants what all dictators want: compensate their micropenis with everything made bigger and more impressive than others while adding their name onto everything.
One torpedo and your golden battleship will be a very effective new coral reef.
yeah, they’ve been pushing for smaller and smaller carriers from what i hear from my former (he earned that former) marine bil
