President Trump has announced plans for a new class of Navy battleships, termed the 'Golden Fleet,' which he claims will significantly enhance U.S. military capabilities. The first ship will be named the USS Defiant, designed to be larger and more powerful than World War II's Iowa-class battleships and equipped with advanced technologies including hypersonic missiles and high-powered lasers, as reported by NPR.

This announcement follows the Navy's struggles with delays and cost overruns in other shipbuilding projects, raising questions about the feasibility of Trump's ambitious plans.
