On Monday, Dec. 22, President Donald Trump announced a new generation of U.S. Navy surface warships he claims will be the largest, deadliest, and most technologically advanced vessels ever built. Standing alongside Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan, Trump framed the project as a show of American dominance. He dubbed it the “Golden Fleet,” with more firepower, more lasers, more everything.
