President Donald Trump announced a new fleet of ships on Monday, known as the “Golden Fleet,” as he revealed he approved plans for two new “very large battleships.”<\/p>\n

“As you know, we’re desperately in need of ships. Our ships are some of them have gotten old and tired and obsolete,” Trump said, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan.<\/p>\n

Trump said the new ships would be “100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built,” in an address from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.\u00a0<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“We haven’t built a battleship since 1994. These cutting-edge vessels will be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships \u2026 other than our submarines.”<\/p>\n

Trump said the Navy would immediately start procuring two ships, working up to 10 and eventually 20 ships to 25 ships in total.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The announcement comes at a time when the Trump administration has elevated shipbuilding to a White House\u2013level priority, establishing a dedicated office to oversee maritime industrial policy and signaling a broader push to expand U.S. naval capacity<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Defense leaders for years have warned that the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base has struggled to keep pace with demand, citing workforce shortages, fragile supplier networks, aging infrastructure, and persistent delays at major shipyards.<\/p>\n

Navy leaders<\/u><\/a> have long pointed to shifting requirements and design changes after construction has begun as another factor driving delays and cost growth in major shipbuilding programs.<\/p>\n

NAVY SECRETARY WARNS SHIPYARDS MUST \u2018ACT LIKE WE\u2019RE AT WAR\u2019 AS CHINA\u2019S AI-POWERED FLEET RACES AHEAD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In April, Trump signed an executive order declaring the erosion of America\u2019s shipbuilding and maritime workforce a national security risk, directing a government-wide overhaul aimed at expanding domestic shipbuilding, stabilizing long-term funding, strengthening the workforce and countering China\u2019s dominance in global ship production.<\/p>\n

Inside the Navy, Phelan has echoed that urgency, warning that the service must “act like we\u2019re at war” \u00a0with shipbuilding and weapons production speeds. He has moved to overhaul the Navy\u2019s acquisition culture, launching a new Rapid Capabilities Office designed to cut development timelines, enforce accountability and push new technology into the fleet faster than traditional Pentagon procurement allows.<\/p>\n

TRUMP WANTS TO REVIVE THE LAGGING US SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY. HERE ARE THE HURDLES HE FACES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

U.S. officials warn the shipbuilding crunch is colliding with an enormous capacity gap with China: the Office of Naval Intelligence has assessed that China has roughly 230 times the shipbuilding capacity of the United States, a disparity that has helped Beijing expand its fleet far faster than American yards can produce new hulls.<\/p>\n

While U.S. officials say the Navy retains a technological edge in areas such as undersea warfare and carrier operations, they warn that China\u2019s growing fleet size and industrial capacity are narrowing that advantage.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy currently operates about 294 warships, while China now fields the world\u2019s largest navy by hull count, with more than 370 ships in service.<\/p>\n

At the same time, several of the Navy\u2019s marquee programs have struggled with delays and cost growth, including the Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarine, the Virginia-class attack submarine and the Constellation-class frigate, which has faced schedule pressure amid design and requirements changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
