President Donald Trump unveiled plans for a new type of US Navy warship that will carry his name. He claims these vessels will be “100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.” The announcement took place at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and introduced what the White House calls the “Golden Fleet” initiative.
This decision is significant because naming a class of ships after a sitting president goes against normal Navy tradition. However, according to The Sun, administration officials say there is a precedent for this, pointing to the Air Force’s F-47 designation as an example.
