The head of the U.S. Navy believes the new Trump-class of battleships, called the “Golden Fleet,” should come equipped with lasers powerful enough to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles or hypersonic weapons.
The battleships, announced by President Donald Trump in December, are already being developed with powerful long-range and nuclear cruise missiles to combat U.S. adversaries. It is the first time a battleship-class vessel has been commissioned since the USS Missouri in 1944.
