A shit idea that will never see the light of day
>>64833159If this was called anything other than "Trump" class /k/ would love this idea.
>>64833175Impossible hypothetical because this shit idea wouldn't exist for any other reason.
>>64833180What's the deal with retards and fixating on guns on ships?
>>64833183naval strategy is for nerds and big guns are cool
>>64833175I love big silly projects because im mentally 12 years old when it comes to ships, i just dont make my retardation into policy.But i will admit that making it a bit less of a vanity project would help me like the whole concept a bit.
>>64833175No, I realized a long time ago that multiple smaller vessels are better than one large ship. Except Aircraft Carriers because they serve a lot more functions than just being a ship that carries aircraft. The "floating city" joke is more real than you'd thing. It's a fully staffed hospital, intelligence hub, and logistics center. This over glorified vanity cruiser wouldn't do most of that. Intelligence hub maybe. I think they talked about putting a data center on it or some shit. Now, if it had 16in guns, then I'd at least jerk off to it.
>>64833218>I think they talked about putting a data center on it or some shitKek, got to throw Peter a bone every now and then, i guess
>>64833183Because the people in charge get all of their information from movies.
>>64833159>>64833218This anon is on the right track.We all know US bases like Rammstein, Diego Garcia etc. are impenetrable. No one has a counter against them. So what we need at sea is also a whole base, including all the air defenses, surveillance facilities, operational headquarters and so on. But it needs to be even bigger, since on top of all that this base also needs to be submarine proof.The only logical conclusion is that the US abolutely must have bigger ships to stay ahead in future warfare. Ships so big that they're better referred to as mobile islands. They can have their own harbors to service aircraft carriers too.
>>64833175no.you gonna cry now?
>>64833326if you create a loose raft of floating logs, and then introduce some dutch to colonize it, they will naturally transform it into a solid floating island in order to improve their habitat, following their natural instincts.
>>64833175It's still very stupid. Also it tries to do too much so it comes off as cringe. If it was just a missile boat with a single big gun for shore bombardment and some CIWs it would be cool at least but this is just stupid.
I just want a nuclear Zumwalt with Mk. 45 VLS cells. Is that too much to ask for?
>>64833495>Is that too much to ask for?If the last 20 years of US shipbuilding is anything to go by, yes
>>64833470Why are you so butthurt, chink?
>>64833159>>64833175Navy procurement is still more fucked than Army procurementMore news at 11
Why do you hate America, zigger?
it, or something very similar, will be procured and put into production. whether battleship-sized or a bloated cruiser. this is because the navy wants and needs irbm slingers and the return of the surface action group centered around offensive munitions.if they didn't stop zumwalt production, it likely wouldn't have come about.
>>64833470I misread that as the Golden Hamburger of American Greatness and was disappointed when I realized it was not.
>>64833470>Outcome: Decisive American Victory
>>64833159no gunz yuro thirdie seethe thread >>64833175this
>>64833581>/k now thinks that critiquing any piece of American equipment is now hating America
>>64833159>VLS in the helicopter hangarThanks for the free submarine kill.
>>64833159You're probably right. Just the design stage will take years. By the time they've finally submitted more than an artist's rendering (you know, actual blueprints for building a ship) the Navy will go "naw, we don't want it after all" because donny boy will probably be either dead or completely senile and nobody will care what he thinks anymore.
>>64833175Anon we have been shitting on the modern battleship concept a long time.https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/22337291/
>>64833470>Type 006 doesn't exist>it's the image of a 003 instead of the in-construction 004.Retard
>>64833872Replace that American ship with a Coast Guard cutter and it’ll be accurate
well the shipyards need to build something now that supercarriers and subs are obsolete yeah im exaggerating (slightly)
>>64834051>Ass to ass class submarine
Wouldn't it make more sense to build small dedicated role ships that are easier to make and tailored to a task so to have less space inefficiency?Like some 4000 ton laser missile defender with 8 lazors on it, two of those in a carrier task force would feasibly be able to defend grouped waves of nearly anything.An 8000 ton all missileer that packs 256 or whatever, etc.
>>64833159as you can see, it's already burning Narcos.

>>64834529That's clearly a warship you dink>>64834583I came here to post this
>>64833183coastal bombardment with missiles is too expensive1 USS Trump could take Greenland in under a week, and save money doing it
>>64833175The whole reason this even exists is because Trump saw Russian ships and thought “that’s a ship!” If anyone came up to me and asked “why does Russia have bigger ships than us?” I would immediately discount their opinion as retarded and their IQ less than room temperature at best.I’m also not joking, especially in the first term when Trump was doing briefings that involved the Navy he would always bring up pictures of the Russian fleet and ask why US ships were smaller and had less guns. His primary motivation for this new ship class is “Russia does it.” Make of that what you will.
>>64834689>coastal bombardment with missiles is too expensiveNo it isn't.>1 USS Trump could take Greenland in under a week, and save money doing itIt probably could, but it would do it with missiles.
>>64834752Tomahawk is around 2 million dollars/missileRailgun ammo will be a few thousand
