Navy Bets on Nuclear Trump-Class Battleship in 30-Year Fleet Plan

The Navy’s 30-year shipbuilding blueprint confirms a nuclear-powered Trump-class battleship intended to provide long endurance and high-volume fire support without serving as a destroyer replacement, with a planned 15 ships. The plan also advances medium unmanned surface vessels (MUSVs) acquisitions, sustains Ford-class aircraft carrier and DDG-51 production, and outlines decommissioning of aging submarines, carriers, and other warships in the coming years.

Navy Targets 2028 Start for 30,000-Ton Trump-Class Battleship

The Navy plans to buy the first Trump-class battleship (BBG(X)) in FY2028, seeking about $17 billion in procurement plus roughly $1 billion in advance procurement and $837 million in R&D in FY2027 to begin construction in 2028. This fits a broader strategy to field a 30,000-ton surface combatant under the Golden Fleet concept, with a second ship projected for 2030 (~$13B) and a third for 2031 (~$11.5B), totaling around $43.5B in procurement over the five-year outlook and avoiding incremental funding.
