President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new 'Golden Fleet' of Navy battleships, unveiling plans for two initial vessels that he claims will be vastly more powerful than any previous ship. The initiative is part of a broader push to revitalize the nation's shipbuilding industry, which has faced years of workforce shortages, supply chain issues, and delays at major shipyards. Trump has elevated shipbuilding to a top national priority, establishing a dedicated office and signing an executive order to address the erosion of America's maritime workforce and infrastructure. Navy leaders warn that the United States faces a significant capacity gap with China, which now fields the world's largest navy and has far greater shipbuilding capabilities. The new fleet is intended to help close this gap and restore American dominance at sea, though officials caution that persistent challenges in shipbuilding and procurement remain.
