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's Long-Range Shipbuilding Plan Sparks Controversy and Criticism.

The US Navy's latest long-range shipbuilding plan includes the decommissioning of two nuclear aircraft carriers, the USS Nimitz and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the sale of two Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships to foreign militaries. The plan also clarifies that the Navy only needs 15 Independence-class ships for mine countermeasure missions, leading to the decommissioning of USS Jackson and USS Montgomery. The Navy is conducting a Battle Force Ship Assessment and Requirement Report to inform future shipbuilding plans.
